Why would anyone oppose such a bill? The bill calls for justice, that's all. It would prohibit President Trump from firing Robert Mueller. But, Republican leaders are opposed to such a bill -- not even letting it come up for vote -- because they say Trump isn't going to fire Mueller.
Pass the bill, anyway. Special counsels should not be subject to the presidents they are investigating. And, with Jeff Sessions having been forced out of office, is it -- as the Republican leaders are asserting -- a foregone conclusion Trump will not take action against the Mueller investigation?
Of course you pass this bill. Why anyone would oppose it only leaves you to wonder that they might not want justice.
Two side notes, though:
One, if you don't pass the bill, and leave Trump open to firing Mueller, and he does fire Mueller, that is obstruction of justice.
Two, if you do fire Mueller, what good will that do? By now, the investigation must be close to being wrapped up. What has been collected, has been collected. You can fire Mueller, but you can't set fire to the evidence.
