Steve Chabot (R-State That Causes People to Flee the Earth) wants us to know the impeachment is definitely going to help Trump get re-elected.

I'm pretty sure that's why we're seeing all the retirements. You either vanish and hope it blows over before it gets to you, or you go all in.

You can't impeach without fact witnesses and documents; also, everyone within 500 metres of the President has absolute immunity against Congressional subpoenas.

Like even as an academic historian I find "the Founders' Intent" argument stupid as gently caress. The French don't go "well what would Louis XIV do?!", nor do the British ask what Elizabeth the Great's opinion would be on foreign policy, because it's loving irrelevant to modern times and problems But it goes back to the "Great Man History" that the loving GOP and Boomers worship at the altar of TulliusCicero fucked around with this message at 21:13 on Dec 4, 2019 |

It would be hilarious if it weren't so absolutely infuriating that these Republicans aren't even bothering to ask Turley anything. I mean, I understand why they're too cowardly, deceitful, and inept to challenge the other three experts, but the bare minimum effort one might expect from them would be to use the expert they chose themselves.

I fundamentally cannot understand the Republican approach here. Even in a hearing without Schiff, why is their only defense that there's not enough evidence? It just reminds everyone that Trump is refusing to comply with lawful evidence gathering. i mean i understand that they have nothing and they also have their hands tied by trump but jesus.

I like how they keep bringing up their own intransigence as a reason why impeachment is wrong. "You said it had to be bipartisan, and we refuse so I guess you can't do it!"

The French don't go "well what would Louis XIV do?!", nor do the British ask what Elizabeth the Great's opinion would be on foreign policy, because it's loving irrelevant to modern times and problems A law prof named Jonathan Turley wrote about that point a few years ago: Turley posted:All mythologies, constitutional or literary, have an underlying purpose or theme. Presented with complex facts or realities, mythology offers a consistent account to an audience eager for clarity. At a time of national crisis, the desire for a clear basis of resolution is almost overwhelming. In such times, we often look to the Framers to compel a course of action. This desire for a dead-hand control over contemporary problems is understandable but not always supportable. Ironically, the only clear intent of the Framers on some questions was to leave the resolution of conflicts to each generation. The Framers often were more concerned with how we would conclude conflicts than the conclusions themselves. This appears to have been the resolution over the impeachment language. Faced with various views of the basis for impeachment, the Framers focused on where and how impeachment would occur. The evolutionary standard of impeachment, "high crimes and misdemeanors," would necessarily change with society, but the static procedural conditions would remain constant. Thus, society may come to view certain acts of misconduct as impeachable that were not even viewed as objectionable-let alone actionable-in the 1700s.
