[[link removed]] Adam Russell TaylorI have been filled with a divine rage since armed insurrectionists, instigated
by the president, violently sieged our Capitol last week. There must be
accountability. In one move toward that, 10 Republicans joined all 222 House
Democrats in voting that President Donald Trump incited an insurrection. He is
now the only U.S. president to be impeached twice. Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) and
the nine other Republicans who joined her described their vote to impeach as a
vote of “conscience.” Invoking that word made me think of Martin Luther King
Jr.’s wisdom:

"Cowardice asks the question, 'Is it safe?’ Expediency asks the question, 'Is it
politic?' Vanity asks the question, 'Is it popular?' But, conscience asks the
question, 'Is it right?' And there comes a time when one must take a position
that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but one must take it because
one's conscience tells one that it is right."

Many Republican leaders will invoke Dr. King on Monday but I wish more of them
had considered his words before voting on impeachment. King’s vision of beloved
community is the antithesis of the dystopian vision of “Make America Great
Again.”
