(14,528 posts)Each and every one of them has a moral duty to act in the face of crimes committed in plain sight.
And ALL of them should be pointing this out and calling on their colleagues to put their duty to the nation ahead of any bullshit rationalization for staying silent
Including the favorite of too many Democrats for too many years "can't win, don't fight."
What is happening is the moral equivalent of police turning a blind eye to serial killers committing their murders in front of the police station and captured by surveillance cameras.
