I was watching All in with Chris Hayes last night with Joy Reid as guest host. She was doing a segment on some Trump scandal and made a really important (but depressing) point. She asked one of her guests why we should believe in the Constitution when a President can attempt to obstruct justice but pay no penalty because Congressional Republicans will not impeach him and there are five conservatives on the Supreme Court (not to mention dozens of newly minted lower court judges).
Her guest (Chris Lu) went for a canned response that the Constitution has survived 230 years and it will survive this too. I am less sanguine.
