The breakdown of democratic norms and defiance of judicial authority by the current administration is deeply alarming. As members of Congress sworn to uphold the Constitution, it is imperative that you exercise rigorous oversight to rein in flagrant lawlessness from the executive branch. Our nation's founding principles rest on a system of checks and balances, where no individual or branch of government is above the law. When the administration willfully disregards court orders and judicial injunctions, it undermines the rule of law that is the bedrock of our democratic republic. No president should be permitted to trample on constitutional rights or ignore the judiciary's rulings with impunity. Failure to hold the administration accountable sets a dangerous precedent that jeopardizes the integrity of our institutions and the separation of powers. The numerous well-documented instances of the administration defying court orders and retaliating against judges who uphold the law demand a full investigative inquiry by your committee. As a co-equal branch of government, Congress has not only the authority but the duty to provide robust oversight and ensure the executive branch operates within the bounds of the law. Complacency in the face of such egregious overreach risks enabling further erosion of our democratic foundations. The American people deserve a government that respects the Constitution and the system of checks and balances essential to preserving liberty. I urge you to take immediate action through rigorous hearings and investigations to address this disturbing pattern of lawlessness and uphold your sworn oath to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
