Pelosi’s Third Impeachment Folly
American Thinker ^ | 17 Jan, 2021 | Clarice Feldman

Posted on 01/17/2021 5:34:22 AM PST by MtnClimber

Time to put away childish things and concentrate on devising strategies and mobilizing to carry them out.

Does the President have a right to free speech? Josh Blackman, a constitutional law professor writing on The Volokh Conspiracy, suggests he certainly does and that his speech on January 6 is a weak reed (as was Nancy Pelosi’s past impeachment folly) on which to gain a conviction in the Senate. (Remember an impeachment vote in the House is basically an indictment with no effect unless the Senate finds guilt after a trial.) Looking at the most analogous case, the impeachment of President Andrew Jackson, he finds plenty of reason for senators to vote against it.

SNIP

Aside from the constitutional issue of impeaching a President who, like every one of us, is entitled to free speech, there’s the political fallout to consider.

And no one better analyzes this than Victor Davis Hanson. Among other things he highlights the fact that the first two impeachment efforts failed, that the President has been under unremitting attack from day one, that Pelosi and Democrats like Schumer and Biden, have themselves engaged in incendiary speech and conduct. I can’t disagree with his conclusion:

Do we really wish to institutionalize these efforts to weaken a president? Would a President Biden want his opposition on three occasions to attempt formal impeachment proceedings?

Would Biden welcome a two-year special counsel investigation of the entire Biden family for its alleged efforts to use his name and influence to skim money from foreign governments?

I don’t know if Clarice thinks so, but I do: Biden should get the same treatment as Trump.

Another crucial point the vindictive, hate-filled Nanzi would like to bury......

<><> The Constitution requires impeachment as the vehicle for removal of an errant president.

<><> It says NOTHING about impeaching a president who is out of office.

So I guess she'll have to make it up as she goes along.....cackle.....maybe get some new pens.

In the case of Biden, there is already plenty of evidence that he has used his influence for personal gain from foreign governments. What is his allegiance to the ChiComs? His "promises" to make citizens out of the millions of illegal aliens who are in this country and to open the borders to more foreign invaders show that he cares little for America and is trying to destroy us.

So yes, he certainly SHOULD be investigated. In his case, it wouldn't be for the pure purpose of harassment (like the "investigation" of Trump for invented reasons), it would be for cause.

Oh, of course Biden wouldn't welcome it.

“I don’t know if Clarice thinks so, but I do: Biden should get the same treatment as Trump.”

House impeachment will be used by the out-party as a periodic club to wound a first-term president. President-elect Biden should beware. (VDH)

https://conservativechange.com/petition/impeach-joe-biden/

Next week, file two articles of impeachment against him
The week after, file 3 articles of impeachment against him

It says NOTHING about impeaching a president who is out of office.

And her party lets her be their leader of the house mass stupidity on exhibit.
Laws has never been one of their finer points of ruling.

Old Geriatric Joe won't be able to get his legislative agebda on the House orders, his show horn just isn't big enough to pry anything into the House agenda. Chuck and Bernie are too busy Salivating over the "stimulus" which is actually rotten Dem Pork.

The whole collection of them comprise a criminal syndicate designed to fleece the people and usher in a Brave New World.

Soon we will have totalitarian rules to comply with as the Dems cannibalize each other, unable to achieve party unity, let alone national unity.We are already approaching the 2022 Congressional election and it sure is looking good for MAGA.

I love the sound of Dem cannibalism.

IMPEACH TRUMP NANZI. YOU CAN DO IT!

Take the bait Nancy.

Ha, ha! Pelosi is shooting blanks as usual. But her phony narratives live thanks to the enemy-of-the-people media and big tech.
