It's in dictatorships where someone just comes up with a product and that's it, that's the final product. In our system, our constitutional republic, we tried something. It might fail, then we try again.

I don't think there is anyone in there who could change the system.

( Trump) thinks people owe loyalty to President Trump, but people are elected to Congress with an oath to support and defend the Constitution, not an oath to support and defend one person, the President who happens to be from your own party.

No matter your circumstance, I'm asking you to join me in rejecting the partisan loyalties and rhetoric that divide and dehumanize us, if we continue to take America for granted, we will lose it.

President Trump has engaged in impeachable conduct. by Justin Amash

President Trump has engaged in impeachable conduct.

True to Washington's fears, Americans have allowed government officials, under assertions of expediency and party unity, to ignore the most basic tenets of our constitutional order : separation of powers, federalism and the rule of law, the result has been the consolidation of political power and the near disintegration of representative democracy.

Most Americans are not rigidly partisan and do not feel well represented by either of the two major parties, preserving liberty means telling the Republican Party and Republican Party that we'll no longer let them play their partisan game at our expense.

I have the highest regard for them and they're my close friends, i didn't want to be a further distraction for House Freedom Caucus.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's very nervous about some of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi Democrats who are in what House Speaker Nancy Pelosi considers tougher districts, we have a job to do, and I think we owe it to the American people to represent them to ensure that the people we have in office are doing the right thing, are of good character, aren't violating the public trust.

I am not concerned about it.

My job is to defend the Constitution. I'm laying out the information I want to lay out and it's not about getting on TV or anything like that, i want to make sure that I'm presenting it in the most clear-cut, sober way possible.

There are people who are still reviewing [ the Mueller report ], i've had people who, after I made my tweets said,' Boy, they'd better review it more carefully now and they hadn't really gone through it before.'.

I don't have any reaction to it. by Justin Amash

I don't have any reaction to it.

Don't let people convince you that principles only matter when the outcome is in your favor, principles matter especially, and really only, when the outcome is not in your favor.

Contrary to Barr's portrayal, Mueller's report reveals that President Trump engaged in specific actions and a pattern of behavior that meet the threshold for impeachment.

Barr's misrepresentations are significant but often subtle, frequently taking the form of sleight-of-hand qualifications or logical fallacies, which Attorney General Barr hopes people will not notice.

I would never rule anything out, that's not on my radar right now, but I think that it is important that we have someone in there who is presenting a vision for America that is different from what these two parties are presenting.

From the time the President was elected, I was urging them to remain independent and to be willing to push back against the President where they thought he was wrong, they've decided to stick with the President time and again, even where they disagree with him privately.

In some sense you've delegitimized objections to the President, you've built up such credibility for him that you just can't challenge him anymore.

It was an opportunity to conduct oversight and gather information. I believed it was best to give Michael Cohen.Much room to talk about Michael Cohen.Much relationship with the President, my staff and I drafted some ideas based on my approach, and I asked my brothers, who also are lawyers, for suggestions. I narrowed the list of questions the night before and during the hearing.
