A rare statement from Justice Roberts in response to Trump's post this morning: “For more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision. The normal appellate review process exists for that purpose.”

FYI: You are allowed to be a Democrat who also wants a stronger party. You are allowed to ask leaders like
@schumer.senate.gov
to step aside so others who understand the moment can lead. You are allowed to demand more than we are getting right now— and you deserve more too.
