Rockville Maryland, the evening of July 10, 2017. A packed house of over 150 local activists and supporters gathered at Johns Hopkins Gilchrist Hall Auditorium for a panel symposium titled "The For-Profit Presidency: Ethical Issues In The Trump Administration And What We Can Do About Them." The ethics outrages of the Trump regime are numerous, egregious and well known to all, even Republicans. The solutions proposed involve using every one of the institutions of our Democracy from the highest courts to your local street protest. Inside/Outside, long game. The event was organized by the social justice group Rockville Resistance that sprung up, like so many others, in the wake of the election of Donald J. Trump to the Presidency of the United States Of America. The distinguished panel included Georgetown history professor and Dissent magazine editor Michael Kazin, Public Citizen Director Robert Weissman, Executive Branch Ethics Counsel and CREW* stalwart Virginia Cantor and Steven Spaulding from the venerable good government advocacy group Common Cause. Our House Representative Jamie Raskin cancelled due to illness and was backed up very ably by Maryland Attorney General Brian Frosh. Hats off to all at Rockville Resistance for staging this important event. We fight on.
