“Where is the crime?”
Reasonable people will agree everything the House Democrats have said is true.
However, that’s still not a crime or an impeachable offense. On those grounds, we don’t think they have made their case or met their burden of proof.
Alan Dershowitz said something very important last night. When you impeach and remove a judge, you’re not crippling the entire judicial branch or striking its ability to do its work.
When you impeach and remove a President, you’re creating a vacuum at the heart of the executive branch and impairing its ability to do its work.
A judge is replaceable. A President isn’t and that’s why one will never be removed from office. The damage to the country just wouldn’t be worth it.
Now there may be a situation when a President has performed an act of such an intolerable nature that every one agrees he can’t be allowed to remain in office.
That’s when impeachment is an appropriate remedy. It isn’t appropriate today and not within the context of a partisan impeachment.
“The only question that needs to be asked in this pathetic circus:”
I would have asked why the House Democrats didn’t allow the Republicans to call their own witnesses.
