President Trump's incitement to violently overturn the results of a free and fair election is an attack on our rule of law. Any President, any Member of Congress who obstructs the electoral college or attacks judges and the court system when there is no evidence to support their contentions undermines the public's trust and confidence in the judicial process. How do my Republican colleagues expect ordinary citizens to respect and trust the courts in civil and criminal matters all across this country? Think about that as you make this decision. Vote ``yes'' on the Articles of Impeachment.
