Amash is a libertarian, Ron Paul devotee. Not a republican.Smacked down by 'fhe man'...Lawmaker, breaking with GOP, accuses Trump of obstruction, impeachable conduct
Justin Amash becomes first Republican congressman to call for Trump's impeachment - CNNPolitics
Michigan GOP Rep. Justin Amash said Saturday he had concluded President Donald Trump committed "impeachable conduct" and accused Attorney General William Barr of intentionally misleading the public.
Amash's comments recommending Congress pursue obstruction of justice charges against Trump were the first instance of a sitting Republican in Congress calling for Trump's impeachment.
"Contrary to Barr's portrayal, Mueller's report reveals that President Trump engaged in specific actions and a pattern of behavior that meet the threshold for impeachment," Amash said in a string of messages on Twitter.
"Our system of checks and balances relies on each branch's jealously guarding its powers and upholding its duties under our Constitution," Amash tweeted. "When loyalty to a political party or to an individual trumps loyalty to the Constitution, the Rule of Law -- the foundation of liberty -- crumbles."

This is actually quite surprising, to see a lone GOP US Congressman stating basically EXACTLY what I have been stating here @ USMB for the past week.
Congress has the duty to The Constitution to impeach Trump.
It has nothing to do with party; it is the duty of Congress.
The US Constitution is above all else in The United States.
Anyone that believe party is above The Constitution is a political, partisan, piece of shit.
Edited to remove way too many images.
Also an OP should be 3-4 paragraphs, link and comment.
Bait threads are a no-no.

In response to the post....SO?!
This is not the 1st time an attention-seeking RINO has ever split with the GOP.
He'll suffer the same fate as the Dems in 2020 for their refusal / inability to legislate due to their unhealthy obsession with fake news, lies, hate, and treason.
....see? Hardly anyone knows that...because no one cares.
So this guy is a Libertarian, not GOP, which means the OP's title is still wrong. Even he really didn't know who this clown is - he just wanted to rush to claim a GOP congressMAN wanted to Impeach Trump?!
You continue to show your ignorance.
Amash enter politics and ran for State Representative as a Republican in 2008 and won. In 2010 he ran for the District 3 US Representative seat and won and he has held that seat since then.
"Politico described him as "one of the most conservative members of Congress"
But then, what do you know about being a conservative? You support Trump and his high deficit spending, which is already at $2.1 trillion and that's during during a strong ten year running economy.Usually, deficits are small during healthy economic times. but not "I like debt" Trumpster. Also, real conservatives respect the Constitution, unlike your hero, Donald J Trump.. who attacks the Constitution more than respecting it. .
