Mike Johnson is not a Public Servant, He is a Private Servant to Donald Trump

The duties carried out by a Member of Congress are understood to include representation, legislation, and constituent service and communication, as well as electoral activities. Broadly, a system of representative government assumes that the will of the people is consulted and accommodated when making public policies that affect them.

Each Member of Congress swears an Oath to the Constitution of the United States. I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.

The Speaker of the House administers the Oath of Office to each member of the House, he is the political and parliamentary leader of the House, and is the presiding officer and administrative head of the House. Part of his administrative and presiding role is to ensure adherence and compliance with the Constitution of the United States.

In response to the Republican Administration’s frustration with the federal courts rulings that have blocked a series of questionable ‘legal’ actions taken by the administration, on Tuesday, March 25, Mike Johnson said “We do have the authority over the federal courts, as you know. We can eliminate an entire district court. We have power of funding over the courts and all these other things. But desperate times call for desperate measures, and Congress is going to act.”

Article I, Article II, and Article III of the Constitution establishes the branches of government: legislative, executive, and judicial, setup to ensure no branch had too much power.

However, with King Trump attempting to consolidate all power at the executive level, the obsequious toady Mike Johnson is willing to ignore his Constitutional role and support the Republican administration’s efforts to ignore the requests of the courts putting itself above the law. In fact, he is willing to threaten the third rail of our Republic, the judiciary, instead of agreeing that the executive branch should support the judiciary.

This is the final step in Mike Johnson relinquishing all principled integrity in the execution of his role as Speaker of the House, and the second in line for succession in the event of the death of the President.

Mike Johnson, a former constitutional attorney, is a traitor to the United States, a traitor to his elected office as a Congressman of the United States, and a failure as Speaker of the House.
