Good Congressional acts are a product of thought and reflection -- when there is time, like there is now.
In an impulse of calculated revenge, Nancy Pelosi claims, “As the days go by, the horror of the ongoing assault on our democracy perpetrated by this President is intensified and so is the immediate need for action.” The story also explains “The House will first try to force Vice President Mike Pence and the Cabinet to remove Trump by invoking the 25th Amendment” (NY Post).
New York Totalitarian Noisemaker Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D) sputtered “But in addition to removal, we’re also talking about complete barring of the president or, rather, of Donald Trump from running for office ever again.” (Washington Times). Would such a ban be legal?
An excellent remark from Hugh Hewitt: What ought to drive discussions at this moment is what’s best for the country now and hereafter. Precedents about impeachment are significant disturbances in the constitutional order. There isn’t time to even consider them seriously. Passions are running high — which is why this is exactly the moment to allow them to cool. Allow the 12 days to pass in somber silence and reflection. Why burden the new president with a country even more deeply divided than it is now? (Washington Post).
Andrew McCarthy argues Trump has committed an impeachable offense (Fox News).
