Forget impeachment. Tee up prosecution.
Washington Post ^ | June 6, 2019 | Jennifer Rubin

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has surmised that polls showing overwhelming opposition to President Trump’s impeachment may reflect a misunderstanding as to what “impeachment” means. At her weekly press conference on June 5, she said: “Do you know that most people think impeachment means you’re out of office? Did you ever get that feeling or are you just in the bubble here? They think if you get impeached, you’re gone, and that is completely not true.”

In fact we’ve never removed a president after impeachment and trial in the Senate. Although Richard M. Nixon resigned before a full House vote, the case laid out by the Senate Watergate hearings and then by the House Judiciary Committee was so powerful that Nixon’s guilt was definitively established, and Nixon resigned before the Senate could convict him. In doing so, Congress reaffirmed red lines — obstruction of justice, defiance of subpoenas — upholding our democratic and constitutional norms.

It’s time to surround the Capitol with tanks until we can sort out what’s going on.

I'm liking this "surround the Capitol with tanks" idea more every second that I think about it.

They should all be equipped with giant spools of hemp rope for convenience.

Jenny is taking the lovely Helen Thomas’ place very nicely.

Such a delightful, caring POS.

The 4 years at the college didn’t turn out like she planned.
What passes from her as knowledge no one understands.

Gee it’s not like we predicted these people were going to go more insane every day or something. Lack of morals is like lack of fiber in these times. Dear insane disciples of the deep state, if you continue to desire living in a republic, there is only one way to remove Trump. Convince enough people that you are not insane. So far you have failed to do this.

“This Ruben guy is a major league rear hole.”

The author of the article is a woman, Jennifer Rubin.

I agree with your other sentiments.
