Spartz Issues a Statement on Biden, Gosar, Greene, Omar, Pence, Santos, Schiff, Swalwell and Trump: No One is Above the Law, and No One is Below the Law – Congress Shouldn’t Be a Kangaroo Court

Washington, D.C. – Today, Rep. Spartz issued the following statement on Biden, Gosar, Greene, Omar, Pence, Santos, Schiff, Swalwell and Trump:

“When Benjamin Franklin was leaving the Constitutional Convention in 1787 and was asked what kind of government the delegates had created, he replied: “A republic, if you can keep it.” It’s been over 200 years since that time, but do we really appreciate what it means to have a Constitutional Republic, the rule of law, presumption of innocence and proper due process,” Spartz said. “As someone who grew up under dictatorship in the Soviet Union, I cherish these freedoms tremendously and understand how hard is to get them back when you lose them. Therefore, regardless of politics, I will vigorously defend our Constitution and our rights. We are not a kangaroo court and have proper committees, like Ethics or Judiciary, to provide proper due processes to all individuals or we can lose credibility with the American people. I adamantly argued for proper due processes last Congress as a member of the Judiciary Committee, so I am not planning to become a hypocrite now.”
