"Therefore, Trump has taken a reasonable position that the House’s failure to vote and its unabashedly partisan drive to impeach render the purported impeachment inquiry illegitimate."

Which is to say, "Bite me."

It’s been that way since before Trump was elected - when they found out that the Hilldebeeste lost they immediately went into impeachment mode.

Nancy's activity relative to the impeachment misadventure can been described as the "Nixon Lite Impeachment Model", meaning, skip the full House vote to start impeachment, nibble around the edges with secretive faux impeachment committee work, but then use the supposed power of the Court of Public Opinion to 'force' Trump to resign....like Nixon.

She may even try to convince RINOs (Romney comes to mind) to gather a like-minded GOPe group to take that slow walk up the the White House driveway to convince Trump to resign.

Ain't gonna happen - but would be VERY entertaining if they try!

Projection is a psychosis brought to a fever pitch within the leftist cohort.

McCarthy always makes the correct, important points.

This impeachment has no basis in facts, it is just a Dem attack.

The ultimate check on presidential power is impeachment.

Impeachment has become a Democrat electoral strategy, not a check on Presidential power. They know they can't beat President Trump with their slate of candidates, so they are abusing their power to try to win another way.

This is essentially one step short of accepting assassination as an electoral strategy.

the Constitution’s commitment of impeachment solely to the House’s discretion is a two-edged sword: Yes, it means the House should act as an institution; but it also means no one — not the courts, and certainly not the president — may dictate to the House whether, when and how to conduct an impeachment inquiry.

One thing the Democrats have proven over and over again is that they NEVER let long-standing tradition stand in the way of their agenda.

Mark Levin has been reviewing how the Republicans, led by Henry Hyde, tried to follow an impeachment process that showed due respect to the office of the President, while following the precedents set by the Johnson and Nixon impeachment inquiries.

Pelosi has no such respect for the Presidency, and certainly not for President Trump after the SOTU/travel incident from January, and will not let any fealty to past Congressional tradition become a barrier to her objectives.

You can tell they have a losing argument when they respond with a child's reply that "there is no rule that says I can't do it," despite what propriety and common sense says otherwise.

Pelosi and pals have been locked in the D.C. bubble so long they have no idea what the real world is like.
They are acting like a dog in a thunder storm.

House Democrats won’t budge: Speaker Nancy Pelosi says nothing requires the House to vote for an impeachment inquiry before conducting one. So who is right? They both are.

No, Nancy is still wrong. If the House doesn't vote for an impeachment inquiry, then there isn't a House impeachment inquiry.

They aren't conducting one.

Period.

From the link. Well, phooey - I don’t like this take on the problem but McCarthy knows more about it than the rest of us do...so I guess I can stop complaining about the process - for now anyway! Take some of the stress away...

“”Yet, the Constitution’s commitment of impeachment solely to the House’s discretion is a two-edged sword: Yes, it means the House should act as an institution; but it also means no one — not the courts, and certainly not the president — may dictate to the House whether, when and how to conduct an impeachment inquiry.

There is nothing in the Constitution that says the House must vote, or that it cannot act through such standing committees as Intelligence, Foreign Affairs, Oversight and Judiciary. In fact, nothing in the Constitution directs the creation of committees; they exist because Congress, with nearly plenary power over the way it conducts business, created them.””
