Reader comments about this quote:

An extremely layered comment. For one, the civilian commander-in-chief over the military's job description changes once congress declares war. -- Mike, Norwalk 1
Could Sherman have foreseen the "double standard" on display today by the House, the infiltration by such as the RSDLP, the SDP ? Their underlying agenda of socialist/communistic state rule, is upended, challenged by President Trump's administration of prosperity and growth on a grand scale, reversing the managed decline and intent of a subjugated citizenry.The spirit of revenge by the corrupt Socialist democratic party is on full display. -- Ronw13, Oregon 1
-- jim k, Austin
You are right Ronw13. Of all the witnesses, I have not heard one standing next to Trump listening to his phone call. What the house can make out of just pure hearsay? -- Cal, Lewisville
