There is also loyalty to a political party that one might think has to be earned and carefully cultivated. Over the past month, if nothing else, Republicans have shown an unwarranted sense of loyalty to a man who deserves nothing but contempt as a politician and revulsion as a human being leading many to wonder just what Trump would have to do to lose favor of even one of his fellow Republicans.<\/p>\n<p>Now, it looks as if there is at least one Republican alive who understands the importance of a White House occupant with a grasp of the U.S. Constitution, hewing closely the rule of law, and comprehending the crucial nature of diplomacy; he also understands the threat to America in allowing Donald Trump near the White House, much less tolerating him occupying it. Unlike any other Republican thus far, that lone Republican, a distinguished judge for three-decades, says Trump has to go immediately and he is offering his expertise to start drafting articles of impeachment for the good of the nation.<\/p>\n<p>Mark P. Painter is a recently retired Ohio appellate judge who was also the first American jurist to ever be elected by the United Nations General Assembly to the United Nations Appeals Tribunal. Judge Painter\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/en.m.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mark_P._Painter\">credentials<\/a> are uniquely extraordinary as a world-class jurist, but his primary concern as of late is the clear and present danger of allowing Donald Trump to remain in the White House or any position of authority and power.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Painter penned an op-ed for The Cincinnati Enquirer that was <a href=\"http:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/opinion\/contributors\/2017\/02\/14\/republican-painter-s-time-impeach-trump\/97893248\/\">reposted<\/a> in USA Today and says he is a lifelong Republican, and that from 1968 through 2004 he voted exclusively for Republican presidential candidates; it is what any sane human would consider a dyed-in-the-wool Republican loyalist. However, he also said, like a very tiny number of Republicans, that he has watched as \u201c<em>\u2019his\u201d <\/em>party went from<em> \u201cwhat once was a sane, center-right party go off the rails, first to the extreme right, then to wherever Trump is, which is in another universe.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 140%; font-weight: 500;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.politicususa.com\/2017\/02\/22\/republican-judge-offers-congress-impeach-trump.html\">Continue Reading<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PoliticusUSA &#8211; Loyalty, allegiance, fealty, or devotion are all words that imply a deep-seated sense of duty or unwavering attachment to something like a cause or a nation, or someone like a family member or close friend.
