We need to start talking about the political chaos that is going to ensue when this President has to resign because of the conclusions of the Russia investigation.
After the week we just had- and all the evidence in the public domain- the general trajectory of this investigation is apparent. Soon the world will know, and the majority of Americans will conclude that the President of the United States is illegitimate.
What must we do to make things right? To restore the legitimacy of our government? To start, Donald Trump must be held to account by Congress. If he is not, the Constitution is forsaken.
Then, we must come to grips with the fact that decisions taken by an illegitimate President elected by a minority vote must be unraveled. Especially SCOTUS. Gorsuch- and Kavanaugh, if confirmed- must resign.
The people's will must immediately be heard. Citizens should occupy lawmaker offices until these basic forms of redress are accomplished. They should consider civil disobedience in every geography in the nation until demands are met by lawmakers. But especially in Washington DC.
#OccupyLafayettePark is the beginning. All of us need to be prepared to sacrifice time and money to the great effort that must follow Donald Trump's exit- to restore faith in our democratic institutions. We must be heard, and this historic grievance addressed.
