We are tired of seeing people who know our laws better than the average citizens because they had to in order to get voted in the position that they are in blatantly defying our constitutional rights and our laws. It screams that you are complicit with violating people's constitutional rights you've done it so long you think you can get away with it even when the cameras are on you while you're doing it.
