Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) took aim at House Republicans on Wednesday for their attempt to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. “Understand this: Everything they do is about Donald Trump. He’s the puppeteer,” she said in an interview with MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell, discussing the GOP’s failed impeachment effort Tuesday. “Sadly, as I’ve always said, he’s shining a light on the strings, and it looks terrible. Everything’s about him.” “So what they’re trying to do — Mayorkas, who is a distinguished public servant, who has honored the law and the policy, executed the law — is they’re trying to cheapen...

Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “José Díaz-Balart Reports” that House Republicans who want to move forward with the impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden are “owned” by former President Donald Trump.

They are so furious about President Barack Obama’s dangerous actions about transgenders in public school bathrooms, that they are officially calling for OK’s members of Congress to start impeachment proceedings. Obama’s actions have been unconstitutional, and boys and girls should be using the restroom according to the gender they were born with. It’s about time for impeachment! Oklahoma’s Republican-dominated legislature has filed a measure calling for President Barack Obama’s impeachment over his administration’s recommendations on accommodating transgender students, saying he overstepped his constitutional authority. Lawmakers in the socially conservative state are also expected to...

[As interest in impeachment grows, I offer the following thoughts, reflecting my own ongoing efforts to help people think things through.] Between right and wrong, the intended purpose of just government is to take the side of right. Given the finite nature of human power, the members of civil society may not always have the power to assure that it does so. Moreover, whatever the right intentions of people in the society at large, a government established in view of justice may nonetheless fall into the hands of people who do not take that view.
