On the other hand, he readily admitted he had no regrets about supporting "the president." What I find interesting is that Cameron declared he would not call for Trump's impeachment because the the president had only seven days left in office, as if the length of time left in office had anything to do with the rightness or wrongness of inciting insurrection.
If it does, the way I read that is that we have lost our moral compass and are left with a relative morality that has no fixed point of right and wrong, something like the old Fletcher relativism that became popular a few decades back. AG Cameron also affirmed, according to THE SUN that he has committed to an "orderly transition of power." I have now lived through World War Two, the Korean War, and an ongoing host of global conflicts involving the American Military Forces of which Americans have always been very proud.
However, the way I read our history, we have been rather intentionally committed to an orderly transition of power since first electing George Washington as the Father of our country and then finding a suitable successor to replace him when he resigned. That being said, when has it not been as American as apple pie to be committed to an orderly transition of power between one president and another.
To be anything less, was un-American. To be anything less, was Benedict Arnold. To be anything else was treason--seditious. Having been born in these United States of America, it has been my privilege to have a multitude of friends who were born abroad and for one reason or another pushed their way to the safety of America, where the American way of life guaranteed them an orderly transition any time there was a change in any part of the political system.
Out of that heritage of political freedom and liberty and justice for all, the way I read Daniel Cameron's Republican rhetoric is purely that, political rhetoric, with a subtle implication. For the way I read Cameron's commitment to an "orderly transition of power" raises the hackles on the back of my neck as I ask myself, does a vote to impeach Donald Trump imply a disorderly transition of power?
As I look to the People's House and its almost military lockdown, preparatory to Joe Biden's installation as our 46th President, it removes most of my doubts but prepares me for the orderly transition that has been our tradition since George Washington turned his official duties over to his successor that many years ago.
Is there any other way to read it ?????
