The biggest news over the weekend was silence: the silence of Republicans. You refused to disavow White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller’s statement that the administration is looking at suspending the writ of habeas corpus, that is, essentially declaring martial law. You have also stayed quiet after the administration announced it was planning to accept a gift of a $400 million luxury Boeing 747-8 plane from the Qatari royal family. President Donald J. Trump would use the plane as Air Force One during the rest of his presidency and take it with him when he leaves office. This is in keeping with the refusal of 53 Republican senators to answer questions from Rolling Stone’s Ryan Bort after NBC's Kristen Welker asked Trump, “Don’t you need to uphold the Constitution of the United States, as president?” and he answered: “I don’t know.” Only Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) went on the record, posting on social media: ​​“Following the Constitution is not a suggestion. It is a guiding force for all of us who work on behalf of the American people. Do you agree?” Where are you? Why have you not condemned anything of late? We, the citizens of the United States, and your constituents, demand that you do your job and stand up for our constitution that you took and oath to defend and protect. You’re not doing your job. DO SOMETHING BEFORE ITS TOO LATE. I want a country I can be proud of. And I’m not proud right now. Are you?
