The Democrats follow the Constitution to the letter, apparently the Trumplicans don't have to.
but I'll bet he's thinking of a new one

Trumps New Preamble to the Constitution
We the White Republican People of the United States, in Order to make a Perfect Union (people are saying), establish Kangaroo Justice, Blessings of Liberty to Ourselves and Our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for all white people (and you know that!)

It is not so bad if you can block out or forget about the Government, Freedom of the Press or anything good... ,you know, like Russians, and North Koreans do! (No Collusion)

All of the president's lying, incompetent lawyers threw out bags of fake facts and fake law, while all but one (Senator Romney) republican senator cowered in the corner.

Nonetheless, you persisted and exposed U.S. to the rotten truth about this president's corruption.

My heartfelt thanks goes out to all of you, but I am truly grateful for:

Senate Minority Leader Schumer,
House Impeachment Managers: Representatives Jason Crow, Val Demings, Sylvia Garcia, Hakeem Jeffries, Zoe Lofgren, Jerry Nadler, and the Amazing Adam Schiff.

Finally Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Truly a Patriot and Leader.

If not for all of you, I would lose all hope that our United States would survive the disgraceful, traitorous, corrupt administration of Donald J Trump.

Stand Strong.

Thank you to everybody who represented us during impeachment. You obviously worked very hard, and it showed in the organization and teamwork of the Democratic side. You brilliantly upheld the case for the rule of law. Your professionalism was like water in the desert. Your courage in the face of incoming fire was inspiring. I will always be grateful to you all.

On May 17, 2017 Green called for Impeachment on the House floor. He filed Impeachment Resolutions 3 times before the House finally passed them. He was a voice crying out in the wilderness and, today, our Party is united behind him. That makes me proud.

Pramila Jaypal helped tremendously to bring it about last year, also. Grácias.

There have been several posts recently like this one with accolades for Adam Schiff, Gerald Nadler, Nancy Pelosi and the house managers. Taking nothing away from their considerable achievements I’ve felt that Marie Yovanovitch, Fiona Hill, Lt Col Vindman, Jennifer Williams, George Kent and William Taylor who testified so courageously during the hearings should be recognized. Their patriotism stands in stark contrast with Trump, Barr, McConnell, the GOP Senators and the traitors on the other side and serves as an inspiration to all of us.

a courageous stand, and performed admirably because it was the right thing to do, even when the odds were against us.

To the House team of Pelosi, Schiff, Nadler, and attorneys and aides; to the witnesses who testified; and to Minority Leader Schumer, who stood alone as the outnumbered impeachment leader in the Senate, with no Senate committee chairs beside him, and gave the best speech on the process that I've heard --

THANK YOU ALL for maintaining my pride in being an American and a Democrat.

There are many battles ahead. We are ready for the fight.

Their valiant effort may be the last time we see Democracy at work for awhile.

I choose to think that while our country is sick, it is not dying. If it were dying, we couldn't do much. If it is sick, we can keep trying remedies until we find something that works.

I am angry right now, and none of the solutions I can think of are positive or realistic.
