I'd have a smidgen more respect for the process if the democrats in the house quickly executed the impeachment discussion in the House, and then immediately delivered the papers to the Senate for consideration. If this was that important of an issue, they should not have been sitting on their hands for a couple weeks.Robert Faygo wrote: ↑Tue Jan 26, 2021 12:09 pmAgreed.
In a country of precedents, this situation is VERY interesting to me.
Setting the precedent that we just look the other way at the end of any Federal term is a dangerous one. We currently don’t have a way, beyond the impeachment process, to determine what’s considered a serious crime or what’s considered a really, really, really serious crime. If Trump isn’t subjected to this test, it sets a dangerous precedent.
What’s the line for you? For someone else? For someone else? The ambiguity is more dangerous than anything else.
Now it is purely a political posturing move and really the DNC should be the ones at the prosecution table, not a few members from the House. THAT would be more accurate.
