Ernst and Grassley must defend the Constitution

Millions of us in this nation watched closely as Robert Mueller, an honorable man, and his team worked to get the facts that are the basis of the Mueller Report. We have also paid attention to the hearings of the House committees led by Reps. Adam Schiff (D. Cal. 28th) and Jerrold Nadler (D, N.Y. 10th) Some of us have even read the Mueller Report.
Meanwhile, you two Iowa senators, who were elected to represent the entire state of Iowa, not just yourselves and your Big Money Donors, have made a public spectacle of worrying about ethanol and the trade pact proposed by the administration. You have pointedly ignored the events that have transfixed us - the lead-up to a vote in the House about whether to distinguish your man, Donald J. Trump, by making him the 4th U. S. president to be impeached and possibly the first to be convicted and removed.
Both of you need to decide whether you will live up to your sworn duty to preserve and protect the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic. If not, you should resign your office immediately. If so, I suggest that the biggest domestic enemy to our Constitution sits in the Oval Office right now; and the biggest foreign enemy of our Constitution has offices in the Kremlin and goes by the name of Vladimir Putin. These are perilous times. Please do your job or resign.
