Just when you thought Trump successfully neutered the entire republican party, a Michigan congressman has shown his balls are intact. Instead of blindly following Trump, Rep Awash continues to subscribe to founder John Adams: "A government of laws, not of men."
If he runs for president as a Libertarian, I very well may cast a vote for him. As mentioned before, his performance at the Cohen hearing put him into different class compared to most of his congressional peers, and he was head and shoulders above Rep Jordan's "Liar, Liar Pants on Fire" Brigade.
Today, he made a pretty big splash on CNN's "State of the Union":

“If you think my job is to support the president one hundred percent, then you don’t understand what it means to be a representative in Congress. My job is to support the Constitution one hundred percent and to represent all the people of my district by protecting their rights.”
“Everything has become, do you like President Trump or do you not like President Trump?” continued Amash. “We need to return to basic American principles... and try to move forward together rather than fighting each other all of the time.”
