shermann7, judging by our past differences of position your great is likely not my great, eh. Still, let's see what we already have here.

One plus on the bombing Syria front

Congress Needs to Cancel Trump’s Blank Check for War
[...]
Democrats and Republicans, from the left and from the right, have stepped up to bluntly and correctly assert, as Congressman Justin Amash (R-MI) says,
that “Congress hasn’t authorized war against Syria. Unless Pres Trump expects imminent attack on U.S., use of force is unconstitutional and illegal.”

One plus for his position on the Democrat memo in answer to the Nunes' memo

Republican decries Trump's decision to block release of Democratic memo - Rep. Justin Amash, R-Mich
"Both the Republican and Democratic #FISA memos should be released. I’ve read both memos.
Neither one endangers national security.
The American people deserve the opportunity to read both memos."

3rd plus for his mention here

White House social-media director Dan Scavino violated Hatch Act with tweet targeting GOP congressman

Dan Scavino, the White House director of social media, was reprimanded for a tweet attacking Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich.).
June 9, 2017
White House social-media director Dan Scavino Jr. violated a federal law that bars public officials from using their positions for political activity when he urged President Trump's supporters to defeat a GOP congressman, the Office of Special Counsel has concluded.
As a result, Scavino was issued a warning letter and advised that additional violations of the law could result in further action, according to a June 5 letter that the office sent to the watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), which filed a complaint about Scavino's tweet.
Scavino's April 1 message [ https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2017/04/02/white-house-social-media-director-misused-official-position-by-going-after-gop-lawmaker-ethics-experts-say/ ] called on the “#TrumpTrain” to take out Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich.) in an upcoming primary, referring to him as “a big liability.” Amash is a member of the House Freedom Caucus, a group that Trump had blamed at the time for derailing legislation that would have repealed parts of the 2010 Affordable Care Act.
Even though Scavino was tweeting from his personal account, his page at the time listed his official White House position and featured a photo of him inside the Oval Office.
The Office of Special Counsel concluded that his tweet violated the Hatch Act, which restricts government employees from attempting to influence an election through their official authority.
“Mr. Scavino has been advised that if in the future he engages in prohibited political activity while employed in a position covered by the Hatch Act, we will consider such activity to be a willful and knowing violation of the law, which could result in further action,” Ana Galindo-Marrone, chief of the office's Hatch Act Unit, wrote in a letter to CREW.
Federal employees who willfully violate the Hatch Act [ https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/5/1215 ] can be removed from their positions or barred from federal employment for up to five years.
