The Department of Justice's refusal to comply with a 9-0 Supreme Court ruling (United States v. García, 2024) by failing to extradite Kilmore Abrego García isn't bureaucratic negligence—it's open insubordination to the rule of law at Donald Trump's direction. When the Executive Branch defies unanimous judicial orders with impunity, we have crossed into a constitutional crisis. History will record three facts about this moment: 1. Trump has weaponized the DOJ to nullify Supreme Court decisions (the first time in U.S. history a president has successfully nullified judicial authority) 2. Congressional inaction has enabled this autocratic power grab 3. Your vote—or lack thereof—on impeachment will define whether our system of checks and balances survives This isn't about partisan politics. The Framers designed impeachment precisely for this scenario: when a president declares himself above the law by: ✔️ Ignoring judicial orders (Article II violation) ✔️ Obstructing justice (DOJ noncompliance) ✔️ Usurping Congressional authority (undermining SCOTUS) The January 6th Committee proved Trump's willingness to destroy constitutional governance. Now he's testing whether Congress will stop him as he dismantles the judiciary's authority. If you fail to act now: * Precedent is set that future presidents may ignore courts * Your legacy will be the member who allowed dictatorship to take root * The "R" next to his name won't protect you when historians list the enablers of American authoritarianism I demand you: 1. Immediately draft articles of impeachment for obstruction of justice and abuse of power 2. Subpoena all DOJ officials involved in the García decision 3. Hold emergency hearings on this constitutional breach The Founders gave you this power because they feared exactly this scenario. Use it—or surrender our democracy to a man who laughs at the Constitution. The oath you swore wasn't to a party. It was to the rule of law. Act like it.
