Removing this petty, shabby tyrant from office goes a long way to restoring and resetting the Constitution as a limit on power and a guarantee against its wanton future abuse. It must be done. With speed, with vigor, and with determination. https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=152194053
