        If only we had a congress that had more interest in protecting the Constitution and the Rule of Law rather than protecting a unitary POTUS.

        Thank you for posting this clip. I was in my mid-twenties when this stunning event occurred. IMO it is important that younger people know and understand how Nixon convulsed the nation then -- and that Trump threatens its very existence with his actions now.

        "Record Numbers Jam Western Union" The Modesto Bee 22 October 1973. You could call an 800 number and for $1.25 billed to your phone number you could send a 15-word telegram to the White House. I have the telegram response from Representative Gibert Gude (R-MD, 8th District).pic.twitter.com/ysg2MHx4hN

        October, 1973, was also the month of the most recent Arab-Israeli War, that looked for a while like it might expand to involve the U.S. and U.S.S.R. The 70's were a younger, simpler time. 😧

        Wow! Thanks Michael! Only 22 at the time I was glued to the TV news, and couldn’t wait for the San Francisco Chronicle to arrive in the morning. At least back then we had a Congress that wasn’t complicit with the Executive Branch!

        Good video. It seems to me that pipe smoking is no longer a practice (or affectation) of intellectuals. So, at least in that respect, things have changed since then.

        i can’t imagine any republican lawmaker getting 100:1 calls in favor of impeachment today. of the few that might, i further doubt they’d acknowledge it.

        trumps following in nixons footsteps. I bet it will end the same way with pence as pres letting trump off the hook even though he should go to prison.

        Western Union telegrams seem to have sooo much more weight than online petitions. Real paper, real people taking time to get one sent. Of course, today they would either be scammy forgeries like the net neutrality thing or they would be said to be fake telegrams. ugh.
