To fill their top spot on the House Judiciary Committee, Democrats had a choice between experts in two critical policy arenas: a constitutional law ace with firsthand experience battling President Trump, and an architect of sweeping immigration legislation.
By a wide margin, they chose the constitutional law expert. Why? To ready themselves for a battle with Trump that could end with impeachment proceedings.
The selection of Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) as the ranking member on Judiciary was the clearest sign yet of how seriously House Democrats consider the possibility of a full-blown constitutional showdown with Trump.
Democrats are careful to say that Nadler will not push too far or too fast on any impeachment proceedings. He doesnt rush to judgment about anything, very deliberative, said Rep. Joseph Crowley (D-N.Y.), a friend of more than 25 years.
Such cautious statements aside, its hard not to conclude that Nadler was given his new job for a singular reason.
Its something I think he was made for, Crowley said. Hes at the right place at the right time and when we need him most.

You are 100% correct in your view. Which I share.
If the Rats were to get majorities in both houses then impeachment (and conviction) don’t really need to rest on any genuine crimes. They can make anything they wish a crime.
As far as I know, they could make having a comb over a crime and were the Senate to vote to convict, there is no *legal* Constitutional recourse.
Any FR lawyers have an opinion on that?
I thought House lost impeachment vote two weeks ago? Where is pro0f there is another vote coming?
Gotta love these Democrat “Constitutional Law Experts”. Lets see, Obama was supposedly one ... in fact, if I remember right, didn’t he teach it ... and never required anyone to actually read the Constitution. To Dems, the Constitution is what you want to think it is ... kinda like how they view gender.
They have to have the house before it does them any good
So making America great again is a impeachable offense in the Dhemi world.
Forget what they say, The Washington Post is STILL a bankrupt rag.
Absolutely. If nothing else, when they start getting into serious trouble they will scream that it's just political payback.
Fat Jerry needs to go back to picking his nose ...
If Nadler is running things, he’s going to get red in the face and risk a stroke. And frankly, if any dem had a good excuse for needing to buy ‘some’, just look at his chins some time. He probably called Al Gore about the Seventh Chakra.
