Denial of due process is unconstitutional. A majority of Congress may not deny them to someone they dislike to get them.

The Constitution doesn’t give Congress absolute powers to do whatever it wants.

If you take that position, impeachment is just another political weapon.

The constitution puts the complete power to impeach and define the tiles of the process to the congress. Further it does not define the terms high crimes and misdemeanors. The terminology, along with the word impeachment itself was known through British law/tradition. It didn’t mean a literal indictable crime.

It is absolutely a political process and has nothing to do with due process rights. Due process relates to criminal proceedings, not political ones.

The reason I said that it is a dangerous precedent is exactly because this is absolutely a political hit. But so was the impeachment of Andrew Jackson.

Impeachment is just another political weapon. Always has been. Always will be.

Something is uncontitutional only when the SCOTUS says it is...

Our constittutional rights are being incrementally eroded.

Government institutions like the House, Congress, bureaucracies, state governments, private corporations, slowly and steadilily peck away at the foundation.

there is little we can do but get in line and turn over our automatic rifles, take our stupid pee tests(just because) and let cops search our cars and send in our mail in only ballots and watch the masses stream across the border and get their "motor voter" ballots.

they will find a way to rationalize it "for our own good".and we WILL GET IN LINE, guilty until proven innocent

and Congressd will play along with this "impeachment game" because it is what they do, they have no intention to protect us , it's all about them and what THEY want
