Where are the RW Constitution lovers?

Goodbye 1st Amendment.

And the hypocrites are silent.


Trump silences government scientists with gag orders

Employees at Environmental Protection Agency and Department of Agriculture are affected


Less than a week after the inauguration, the Trump administration has already gagged employees at two federal agencies. Memos obtained by various media outlets show that scientists at the Environmental Protection Agency and Department of Agriculture are now blocked from communicating with the public and the press.

Repubs HATED executive orders, said they were harming the Republic by subverting the balance of powers principle embedded in the Constitution. How many executive orders has Trump issued in the last four days? I can think of at least six, and those are only the ones we know of. Where's all that Republican outrage! Hypocrites and shysters all but, hey, both parties are equally bad, right?
