      Given the oath that Congress takes, if you won’t fight for the Constitution you don’t deserve to be in Congress.

      ***From Rolling Stone’s Peter Wade:***

      Sen. Chris Van Hollen defended the Constitution and fired back at California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a fellow Democrat, who said that the wrongful deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland resident, to El Salvador was “the distraction of the day.”

      “I don’t think it’s ever wrong to fight for the constitutional rights of one person because if we give up on one person’s rights, we threaten everybody’s rights. I think a lot of voters, both Republican and Democrat, are tired of elected officials and politicians who just put their finger to the wind… Anyone who is not prepared to stand up and fight for the Constitution doesn’t deserve to lead,” Van Hollen said in a Sunday interview on CNN’s State of the Union.

      Van Hollen 2028, if there are still elections and he doesn’t get renditioned yet?

      And if you’re willfully flouting the Constitution, you should be removed from office.

      He is completely right. Newsom is an idiot who thinks shifting to the right on immigration is somehow going to win him votes in the Midwest and South. And he also doesn’t have morals, so he is perfectly OK selling out some brown people if he thinks it’ll suit his Presidential ambition.

      Any member of a minority group who votes and trusts Newsom is a fool. I don’t think he has shame when it comes to selling out unfavorable minority groups.

      Why wasn’t he screaming this at Biden when Biden refused to hold trump accountable for the coup attempt? Why wasn’t he screaming it at his colleagues when they provided cover for the republicans in congress during the J6 investigations? Democrats had a chance to defend the constitution, and they completwly blew it. So he may want to look in the mirror at this point.

      If nobody else starts being loud about this, we should decide right fucking now that he’s our candidate.

      If we last long enough to have the election, that is.

      That’s why Lisa Murkowski’s statement about everyone being too afraid to oppose Trump, while maybe honest, is infuriating. There is no greater responsibility as a member Congress than to oppose unconstitutionality, and if you’re too afraid to lose power, you don’t deserve it.

      Van Hollen speaks the truth. I don’t agree with politicians most of the time no matter their party, but this time I must!

      I’m nowhere near Maryland but I’m starting to really like this guy the more I hear from him. A vast improvement from my state’s senator (Cruz 😭)

      >… Despite that, the administration continues to claim he is a member of MS-13.

      Defamation? If it was an uber-rich, high-profile citizen, would the government expect to get sued for defamation and therfore be more careful with their allegations?
