“I am not protesting in the streets because this impeachment was entirely constitutional”
how in gods great earth did you come to that conclusion?
Take a look at the impeachment clause in the Constitution. The House is given absolute power in this regard. And the House gets to determine just what the “crime” is. One of the Founders, Benjamin Franklin, even once remarked that the House could impeach for the “crime” of being obnoxious.
And that’s because in the language of the day, a “high crime” was any misbehavior by a high official. It didn’t have to be murder or treason.
And since impeachment is a political process (no jail time is possible), standard rights given to a defendant do not apply.
Having said all that, if I were a House member I would have voted “hell no” on Trump’s impeachment. It truly is a witch hunt. But it is also constitutional.
