When the President of the United States says he doesn’t know if he should uphold the Constitution, it should be a searing red line for every American.
If you let him ignore ANY aspect of the Constitution you embolden him to ignore more of it, including the parts that secure YOUR freedoms & rights.

Trump may not know whether he has to uphold the Constitution during his presidency, but hundreds of Vermont lawyers do know.
I congratulate them, and thousands of lawyers throughout the country, who are fighting to uphold American democracy and the rule of law.
