Of course. You think she actually takes seriously her pledge to "Protect and
defend the Constitution of the United States, from all enemies, foreign and
domestic" when she happens to be one of those enemies? Makes me think about H

policies contrary to the Constitution....(just on a theoretical basis, of
course...)
