The challenge we face is that the president of the United States wants desperately to prevent Congress, a co-equal branch of government, from providing any check whatsoever on even his most reckless decisions, the very system of government in the United States, the system of limited power, the system of not having a president as a dictator is very much at stake.

The court's thoughtful ruling recognizes that our impeachment inquiry fully comports with the Constitution and thoroughly rejects the spurious White House claims to the contrary.

We should call this what it is: an absolute cover-up by the White House, the White House is advancing a new and dangerous theory: the crony privilege.
