Dear Senators Cornyn and Cruz,
In college, a Libertarian friend of mine gave me a pocket copy of the Constitution. I carried it with me in my backpack for the rest of my college days, in my desk drawer as a young professional, and now in my home office. I want to instill in my young son the same value and reverence for the Constitution that I’ve learned.
Which is why I write you now. You speak often of defending the Constitution and upholding the rule of law. A group I volunteer with, Mormon Women for Ethical Government (MWEG), defends the same principles. It’s a diverse group of women — with many, many lifelong conservative voters — who’ve put aside political or policy differences to unite around our fight against abuses of power and the degradation of our democracy.
In that light, I join with MWEG in asking that you speak out in support of a full and fair impeachment trial in the Senate, to call sworn witnesses and lay all information bare.
Whether you personally feel President Trump’s actions in regard to Ukraine warrant removal from office, or whether it’s politically expedient for Democrats or Republicans, or whether it’s judicious in an election year, is irrelevant. The Constitution demands the process be fulfilled. And we constituents demand it.
Please count my voice among the many, many Texas voters who do not agree with your divisive, partisan language regarding the impeachment process, and who rely on your leadership in Washington to ensure everyone, even the president, is accountable to the law.
