On April 15th, the Editorial Board of the New York Times (paywall) penned an opinion piece titled The President is Not Above The Law, printed beneath a sobering black and white illustration of a shattered American flag ringed by the ghostly silhouettes of members of Congress…

It took me about a minute to read the article in its entirety, and then I sat there in the dark, (it was 3:30 AM where I was), weeping silently, the tears distorting that terrible image into something even more terrifying. Weep with me fellow Americans, weep with me…

The Editorial Board correctly asserts [referencing any future attempt to shut down the Mueller investigation]:

If Mr. Trump takes such drastic action, he will be striking at the foundation of the American government, attempting to set a precedent that a president, alone among American citizens, is above the law.

This cannot be allowed to happen. Congress must take steps to ensure the Mueller investigation be allowed to run its course. I speak for millions when I say, “No, sir, you are most assuredly not above the law.” The article continues:

The overwhelming majority of Americans, including most Republicans, want Mr. Mueller to keep his job, and perhaps a groundswell of revulsion at unchecked presidential power would follow any action against the special counsel.

closing with:

The president is not a king but a citizen…

and then, once again, directs the reader’s attention to precisely who must be held accountable, should the unthinkable happen:

…how Republican lawmakers respond will shape the future not only of this presidency and of one of the country’s great political parties, but of the American experiment itself.

Resist. Persist. Prevail.
