-- The Republicans are really, really mad about this and, and, they will not play with these meanies anymore! --

The longer the temper tantrum lasts, the more it will annoy the observers. The process the DEMs have engineered has barely been revealed to the public.

The GOP is literally shut out. Participation completely denied. Fair? It is if you are a DEM.

The subpoenas are fake, not enforceable in court. Sold as real subpoenas to the pubic. Honest? It is if you are a DEM.

Tell the public what process the DEMs hold out as fair and honest. Tell them. Then let the public decide if they want to associate with that.

But it takes time for this to percolate into the public awareness. Meanwhile, not much harm or wasted energy in letting them act out like the defects they are.

The process the DEMs have put in place is even worse than just denying subpoena power to the GOP and pretending to have majority support.

Let them run with this. It taints the whole party. The ones who would vote against impeachment are being lumped in with Pelosi's wrecking crew, and they don't get to vote on it either. They are implicitly in favor.

“House Republicans are demanding an “equal playing field” in the Democrat-led impeachment probe against President Trump after Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff said ahead of Thursday’s scheduled testimony from former U.S. envoy for Ukraine Kurt Volker that GOP members of the Foreign Affairs Committee will not be permitted to ask questions or have equal representation during the hearing. “

This is regrettable but necessary, in order to uphold the Constitution and the Rule of Law./SARC!
