House Judiciary Report BOMBSHELL: Dems Trying to Change the Constitution
Townhall.com ^ | December 10, 2019 | Jenna Ellis

Posted on 12/10/2019 3:12:48 AM PST by Kaslin

The jig is up. The Democrats have now actually admitted—in writing—that their sad little attempt at impeachment is entirely baseless. The House Judiciary Committee Report was released Saturday and admitted two very critical points:

First, the Democrats are trying to change the standard of impeachment. They are literally changing the rules to fit their theatrical story. Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler wrote in the preface that the previous reports on grounds for impeachable offenses in the Nixon and Clinton eras “remain useful points of reference, but no longer reflect the best available learning on questioning relating to presidential impeachment.”

Why, Jerry? Because you have no evidence for legitimate grounds of impeachment? This only proves that President Trump indeed does not belong in the ranks of Nixon and Clinton, where there was actually evidence of impeachable offenses.

Second, the Democrats are proceeding with impeachment against President Trump not because of any past wrongdoing which they have no proof of, but to “save the Nation” from Trump remaining in office. That is not a constitutionally permissible reason to impeach. That’s why we have elections. The American people get to decide who remains in office, absent clear evidence of impeachable offenses actually committed. We don’t impeach or convict based on a vague fear for democracy from the opposition party.

The Report, however, claims that impeachment exists, “not to inflict punishment for past wrongdoing, but rather to save the Nation from misconduct that endangers democracy and the rule of law.” This is not the standard for any legal proceeding in any context in the United States. We do not bring charges (even articles of impeachment) or convict based on the possibility of a future threat “to democracy” or otherwise.

The Democrats are totally failing. They have no evidence that genuinely qualifies as an impeachable offense and are now trying desperately to aggregate a lot of nothing (even going back to the dead Mueller Report) to try to force their end game of impeaching President Trump simply because they don’t want him to be re-elected. Please, they are saying, don’t be sidetracked with facts and evidence and law and standards.

But this is precisely why America is not a nation of rulers but of the rule of law. The Democrats are trying to be the very tyrants they pretend they are fighting against. They are trying to manipulate our supreme law of the land and subvert the will of the American people who voted Donald Trump into office. Thank God we are in fact a constitutional republic and have standards of law in this country!

If Schiff and Nadler’s circus continues and the Democrats are successful in lowering the standard of impeachment to merely desiring to oust the sitting president of an opposition party, why bother even having elections? But make no mistake—that is actually the Democrats’ long game. They want to overthrow the American Constitution and our rule of law. They want to be tyrants. They want all the power and will stop at nothing to get it. At every turn, they simply change the rules when they don’t want to play by the rules.

That’s not America. Regardless of one’s political party and perspective on policy, this is now much, much bigger than that. This is a constitutional crisis. This is the very core of our American government and civil society. For everyone who loves freedom and liberty for ourselves and our families, this transparent impeachment scam is the only reason we need to never vote Democrat again. The Democrats gave us that reason in writing.

Democraps been taking too many “anxiety” meds.

We been told that although President Trump Didn’t Break the Law, He Surely Intended to, and Therefore He’s Guilty

Cackle——Impeaching thought crimes———a Xanax liberal’s dream.

REALITY CHECK-—Americans would be shocked to know the types and quantities of drugs elected members can get from their own private tax-funded pharmacy.....
a reality since Obama’s press corps reported that flights on Presidential plane, Air Force One, were one big pill party.

There’s a major epidemic among the elected elites when it comes to the “anti anxiety” drugs........the benzodiazepines like Valium, Adivan and XANAX.

One reported story a year or two back pertains to the Congressional pharmacy........that report alluded to Pelosi’s case (her unlimited access to botox is obvious).

One of the things needed in the process of Draining the Swamp. MAGA

this transparent impeachment scam is the only reason we need to never vote Democrat again. The Democrats gave us that reason in writing.

For me, the clue to never vote DemocRAT again was the nomination of Bill Clinton. He hated the military. He had spent several weeks in the USSR at a time when tourists did NOT visit (doing what?). He was up to his eyeballs in the Whitewater investment scam (even though he managed to escape prosecution for his personal involvement). His claim, "I tried marijuana, but I didn't inhale," was so ludicrously false, but gave a strong insight into his pathological need to lie. And so on. The fact that this was the DemocRAT party's best told me that I can never support a DemocRAT again.

I can only hope that the DemocRATs' blatant attempts to install tyranny convince a new generation that no one who values freedom and morality should *ever* vote DemocRAT.

Trump's crime was essentially to get elected while Republican.

That's exactly what I mentioned in another forum. The Rats are trying to change the rules because "the rule of law" doesn't give them the means to impeach.

It's all about getting what they want no matter what it takes, even if it means breaking the law to do it!

“The Democrats are trying to be the very tyrants they pretend they are fighting against.”

The definition of projection...

This impeachment debacle is, itself, a High Crime. And Jerry the Gut is the current ring-leader. There are a whole host of players, though, who must be held to account if we are to save this Grand Experiment for the future.

“High Crimes and Misdemeanors” is precisely what the majority of the House say it is, nothing more, nothing less.

There are no laws, when you’re impeaching while drinking White Claws.

The Dems do not want the Impeachment vote to pass. They want the drama. The actual articles to be presented will give Dems the opportunity to vote it down while still continuing to trash POTUS.

I do not agree with all this website publishes, however this history is real and needs to be exposed to general public.

Those animals have gotten away with treason and lawlessness for so long they've forgotten that what they're doing is criminal.

And all Repugnant Congresscreeps are just as guilty. The dweebs representing Oklahoma, Inhofe and Lankford are similarly worthless.

Give us some alternatives!

However, shouldn’t what grounds they define be proven to Constitutional or common rule-of-law standards?

After they do this, and reject in the Senate, could Trump then sue them up to the Supreme Court to get the House motion expunged from the books? The precedent this sets is frightening.
