GOP: The Party of CRIME and CHAOS

alxtjadeI remember a time when the Republican Party billed itself and considered itself as the Party of LAW AND ORDER.
No longer does that even remotely apply.
As the Party of Donald Trump, they can no longer even remotely consider themselves associated with Law, let alone Order. They have abdicated the Constitution of the United States.
Individual support for Trump is one thing. To march in lockstep the way the Republicans in the House have during the Impeachment Hearings is quite another. It defies their oaths to the Constitution and all reason to claim in unison that the fraud and criminal sitting in the White House is innocent.
Over and above the two articles being put forth, Trump's three year history of defiance to the law warrants impeachment, not stonewalling with false claims of propriety and innocence. We are forever damaged as a Nation.
The party itself should have stripped him of the nomination in 2016 when he publicly invited the Russians to hack the Democratic opposition. Instead they have sat back as The Donald has acted as a Russian Asset attacking the FBI and US Intelligence Community.
For McConnell to say "I'm not impartial about this at all." as he works with Trump's attorneys to coordinate the defense should disqualify him sitting in the Senate during the Trial. His Constitutional DUTY is to hear the case openly and make an impartial judgement on the evidence, not whitewash an obvious criminal.
It's time for a NEW CONSTITUTION because we are witnessing the death of the old one.
