Voting

Have you heard about this James Comey book? It seems to be a big deal…

The wife and I watched The Comey Interview on ABC last Sunday. It was neat, and if you don’t like Trump, then it was a lot of fun.

There was one thing he said at the end, which was he sure hoped that Trump wasn’t impeached and removed from office, as what Comey preferred was that the people should vote him out, to make it legitimate.

The wife and I debate that statement, as we both wondered if the country, or even the world would still be standing come January 2021. (It does sound like a long way off, huh?)

But I do understand his point. Impeachment, and the trial in the Senate, is not a criminal matter; it’s a political one. We can look at Andrew Johnson’s and Bill Clinton’s impeachments and trials as political theatre; an act to remove someone politicians from didn’t like. If we, the people, don’t want Trump in office, then we have a system that allows us the people to remove him; voting. If you don’t like Trump’s policies, then vote in a Congress that will act as a check on his power. If you think he is abusing the Constitution, then it is the job of the Supreme Court to rule on it. (That one is iffy, but I have faith.)

Comey is a “Rule of Law” type guy, as his career shows, and basically he is advocating that the rule of law should continue.

So vote.
