After the failure of the Senate to repeal Obamacare, a frustrated President Trump's threat to reverse President Obama's executive action exempting members of congress from having to live under the same regulations that apply to ordinary citizens forced into Obamacare brought howls of rage from Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT).
"We are members of government," Murphy fulminated. "For Trump to vindictively throw us into the pit with the common people violates the unwritten rule against one segment of this elite group harming the privileges of another. It would renege on the bipartisanship exhibited by President Obama in even handedly extending the exemption to congressional Democrats and Republicans alike."
"Trump may think he's immune from retaliation, but he should think again," the Senator advised. "The House has the power to impeach and the Senate has the power to convict. The Constitutional grounds for impeachment are vague and unspecified. Let me remind Mr. Trump that Congress has the sole prerogative of determining what constitutes a satisfactory cause for his removal from office."

“Throw us in to the pit of the common people......” WOW! Kinda tells it all what our “betters” think of those of us that pay their salaries doesn’t it.
His majesty Chris Murphy. All bow.
Thank you for posting this, makes my day to watch the larvae squirm! :)
It may be semi-satire, but stating the part about impeachment law is accurate. That’s the scary part.
Guess Murphy thinks he’s someone special. Most of the voters don’t & I hope he realizes that.
