Approximate readout of a call to Juan Ciscomani's office, Thursday April 9th, 2026.

++ Hi, I have a couple of questions you might be able to help me with, concerning the congressman's position on the issues.

−− OK, may I ask your name and zip code?

++ [...]

−− OK, go ahead with your questions.

++ Am I right to assume the congressman is aware that troops were sent abroad, in open defiance of the law, in open defiance of the constitution, and with open contempt for Congress?

−− Uhh, I don't know about such things.

++ Well, are you aware that troops were sent abroad? It's been headline news for more than a month.

−− I don't really follow the headlines. I mostly look at local news.

++ It's been all over the local news for weeks. Soldiers wounded and dead. Airplanes shot down. Multiple war crimes. A hundred billion dollars.

−− I can't really answer your question. The congressman hasn't issued any statements on that. But I can take a comment if you like.

++ OK, let me offer a comment, and then move on to my second question.

++ My comment goes like this: As a matter of fact, troops were sent abroad, without any declaration of war, without any congressional authorization, in open defiance of the war powers law, in open defiance of article I section 8 of the constitution, and with open contempt for Congress. Not to mention committing war crimes and boasting about it. This is something the congressman ought to care about.

−− OK, got it, I'll pass that along.

++ My second question goes like this: If this is not an impeachable offense, what is?

−− Huh?

++ It's a simple enough question. Is a willfully, flagrantly illegal war an impeachable offense?

−− The congressman hasn't made any statements about that.

++ Well, it's high time he figured it out. This is his job. He took an oath to defend the constitution. When is he going to start doing that? He needs to grow a spine. He needs to stand for something.

-- I can assure you that if the congressman finds evidence of an impeachable offense, he will take care of that in the best interests of his constituents.

++ Now would be a good time.

-- OK

++ Thanks for your help. Catch you later. Bye.
