And how the president meets them

If you have read this far, you know my answer to these questions. The Constitution provides for impeachment and removal to protect us from officials, including presidents, who are unable or unwilling to distinguish between the common good that government is supposed to serve and their own narrow interests. Though he has done some good things in office, Trump is just such a president. Congress should act accordingly.

This is actually a surprisingly weak case for impeachment at National Review. My reply will have to await my return to the airwaves after the break. https://t.co/LVfh2PwCy5— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) December 22, 2019
John Dingell also told Trump to go to hell and many other hateful things.Just because the person died doesn’t excuse him or his behavior.— ALS🌲☃️😁#MSMSUCKS (@HLAurora63) December 22, 2019
National Review is home to many #NeverTrump editors & writers including Rich Lowry trying to exploit Trump's popularity to sell his own book.— David Morgan (@StarCoreOne02) December 22, 2019
Yeah, here they are: 1) He hurt the Bushes feelings; 2) He hurt the McCains feelings; 3) He hurt the Clintons feelings, and 4) He broke us at the National Review. (Oh, and bonus extra bad, he hurt the Romneys feelings.) 😂🤣— Cheryl (@cmgannon56) December 22, 2019
The National Review was for Her.
As far as I’m concerned, every non-Trumper, at this point, is surely a child molester who has been involved in child trafficking. My assumption is that they are guilty, and they will remain guilty in my eyes until such time as they can prove to me that they are innocent of these crimes.
This is typical of the damned so-called “conservative” establishment that really represents no one. This clown, Jonah Goldberg, Kristol, would really rather have a thoroughly corrupt Hillary Clinton as President screwing every conservative principle so they can come across as nice, get invited as end table people to some big time DC parties, and get a favorable mention in the so-called “press”. I stopped reading National Review years ago and damn, that was a good decision.
Include National Review among the Leftist Media.
You printed this garbage?
Not one person in a thousand knows who Ramesh Ponnuru is; he’s as big a nobody as Jonah Goldberg and the otherwise unemployable Bush/McCain staffers who flood the media as phony token “conservatives”.
BTW, the Constitution requires a crime to impeach (Art. II, Sec. 4) bringing a launched investigation under the authority of the 4th and 5th Amendments which confirms the feds cannot launch unreasonable searches and seizures.
The Delusional Dems had NO articulatable reasonable suspicion that Trump committed a crime to launch a valid and constitutional investigation. The whole impeachment process was unconstitutional from the very start.
RAMESH PONNURU of the National Review is full of it.
Not surprising coming from Never Trumper Ponnuru.
Nowhere does even he say the President committed a crime. His own four part test for impeachment hasn’t been met.
The Senate should draw its conclusions accordingly and acquit and exonerate the President.
Anyone surprised this little weasel claims Trump passed his test?
LOLOLOL...” the consciences of congressmen”...what planet does this guy live on? What a moron.
This was all about politics not about personal conscience.
Apparently, Ponnuru disagrees with House Republicans who unanimously voted against the Democrat articles of impeachment.
They thought they didn’t rise of impeachable offenses even if every one of the allegations set out in them was true.
Trump is guilty of doing nothing.
The Constitution says Congress may impeach federal officials for bribery, treason, and “other high crimes and misdemeanors.” It is reasonable to conclude that only serious wrongs, equivalent in gravity to the first two categories, belong in the third one. We have no warrant for concluding that only violations of statutes qualify. Congress has impeached many officials for misconduct not involving statutory crimes, and included non-crimes in its efforts to impeach Presidents Andrew Johnson, Richard Nixon, and Clinton.What really bugs me is that being a “political opponent” somehow inoculates you against any investigation of criminal conduct. There is so much obvious criminality about Biden, but the author and the Dems are effectively arguing that the President is forever prevented from launching ANY investigation of ANY Democrat. That is preposterous.
Ganesh is a columnist for “Bloomberg Opinion”. Doesn’t working for a rival candidate pose one of those “conflicts of interest” we hear so much about?
Ramesh?
What a fa^^^^.
Ramesh Ponnuru, more proof that the 1965 immigration act is a disaster.
Sorry. No amount of credentialed wordplay can cover up the smell of hearsay, hostile opinion, combed out exculpatory material and butt hurt diplomatic staff..
Why not? Rich Lowry is as worthless as Noah Goldberg.
