“Democrats like Neal appear to believe that the way to be “responsible” is to be timid about wielding power. But when faced with corruption like Trump’s, the actually responsible thing to do is to fight hard. Constitutional principles don’t defend themselves. It’s time for Neal and company to step up and assert themselves.”

This is a great saying: Constitutional principles don’t defend themselves and it sums up not just the fight for the tax returns but the fight for the Mueller Report and against Trump’s assault on democracy itself. This is why simply winning in 2020 isn’t enough-it’s important but it’s not enough.
