To use an old Mormon hymn phrase, that makes reason stare. The idea that Congress would have to anticipate all of the offensive things a president could possibly do, and then make them a statute? ... What if the president decided to pardon every Republican in prison nationwide, while leaving every Democrat locked up? There's no law against that! So it's not a crime or misdemeanor. But it's obviously absurd.
What is absurd about saying, for non-criminal offenses, we have elections? What is absurd about arguing — as Trump's attorneys and others in fact argued — that, were there no such a restriction on impeachment, any political party that gained control of Congress while an opposing party member controlled the White House could impeach such a president for anything that — to use Romney's word — its members found offensive." Under Romney's prescription, the United States would effectively become a parliamentary democracy — something that Trump's defenders argued was clearly against the intention of the founders. And Romney dismisses such objection as "absurd"? He owes his constituency, and he owes the founders of this nation, an explanation.
However, it does stand up to sycophancy.
Is he talking about John Smith?
Mitt was a fine Venture Capitalist but a lousy Politician.
An interesting race for president would be Joe Biden and Mitt Romney.
These two are equally bad and it would be like the two worst NFL teams vying for the 1st round draft pick.
I guess he decided to think himself as wize. He simply divided the baby and gave half to each mother.
I’m so glad I never voted for that clown. He always struck me as a whuss.
Not one bit. Its all pure trash and everyone with an IQ above refrigerator temperature is completely aware of this basic and inescapable truth
All the pols and talking heads who are trying to remove the President are lying, knowing full well that they are lying to further a seditious plot to remove a President who they despise and who’s agenda they fundamentally disagree with and oppose with every cell in their body.
Ominously, the agenda they so stridently oppose goes by the acronym MAGA which should be profoundly disturbing to all Americans
Its all pure performance art aimed at using divisive lies and propaganda aimed at preventing President Trump from reversing the Obama era policy of managed decline of the United States and the imposition of a permanent , authoritarian Marxist system of government
Romney hypocrisy or Romney Burisma Corruption?
Hiding behind one’s ‘religion’ is the height of classless pettiness. Ask San Fran nan!
Let us not question Romney’s prayerful, faith based reasoning.
It starts with him stepping into the political winds generated by the liberals who Romney sees as being the cool kids and whose approval he craves. He then prayerfully and with faith in God licks his finger, sticks it in the political winds. Then, he asks God that the direction his finger has told him the wind is blowing in will be the right one.
After that, he prayerfully and with faith announces his course of action. And if he still isn’t sure, he makes sure to let everyone know that he has lost sleep while consulting with God.
Amen, I say, amen.
And let me say this, we can trust Mitt because no scoundrel, no person with ill intent has EVER in history invoked the name of God.
I am sure it is this faith and prayerfulness that bore us Romneycare. I am sure.
Again, I say Amen and blessed be Saint Romney of Utah.
I'm not questioning Romney's motivation, I'm questioning his judgment. He would have us believe...
Pelosi, Nadler, Schiff, Schumer, et al had the purest of motives...and Trump was involved in a political vendetta.
If he seriously thinks that, he's not only unfit for the Senate, he shouldn't be out without a leash.
Every man mixes a bit of the personal into his business. Wise men keep it in check.
Mr Romney allowed the personal to take control.
Those magic undies are getting close to igniting.
Pressed white shirts and pressed blue jeans tells me everything I need to know about Romney. He is an elitist who sees us common folk as his minions.
Oh, one other thing: The way he trashed his Rep opponents in the primary to be followed by his cowardice against his Dem opponent in the general showed me he had no depth.
Overall, he’s a shallow elitist who has no idea that he sanctions a different moral code for himself and his elitist brethren - that includes Biden.
Any of us minions who did something like what Biden did in
Ukraine would be in jail by now. But instead of having to answer to a stricter standard by virtue of their office, they actually answer to a looser one than we by virtue of their elitism. In a word, it’s hypocrisy.
The real reason, if Romney spoke honestly: “It was my turn, dammit!”
Trump did not pay his party dues, get in line and wait his turn. Nobody likes a line-jumper!
