Frivolous. That pretty much sums it up. The Democrats simply do not have a well-established basis for impeaching the President, and their arbitrary application of the impeachment process is akin to prosecutorial overreach in criminal cases.
They are fabricating an impeachable offense out of a legitimate constitutional question regarding whether the executive branches exclusive domain over foreign affairs puts a limit on the legislative branches power to control money that they’ve authorized to go to foreign nations. The Democrats claim that Trump is violating a 1972 law that limits the power of the President to line-item-veto bills, but that is only true if the constitutional question is answered. However, we can never really get to that question, because the Democrats violated that same law and the Constitution when they failed to exhaust all remedies provided under the law before initiating impeachment.
Not that it even matters. Nobody in the country knows what charges are contained in the articles of impeachment, nor would 99% of them understand the legalese. It’s pretty new. Like real new. Like liberal law reviews and articles just came out with these new interpretations within the last year for the sole purpose of making some BS argument to impeach the President.
Obstruction of congress? Come on. That’s a joke. I’ve heard of contempt of congress, but “obstruction of congress”? If this were actual court, 100% the attorney that tried to argue “obstruction of congress” is subject to loss of licensure by the BAR for misleading the court. That’s just fact.
You are trying incredibly hard here. Stop. Trump broke the law, abused his office, and obstructed congress at every turn. The ones who were being ridiculous yesterday were the Republicans, who absolutely straight out lied at every turn.
I'm not even trying. The Democrats are merely accusing him of a constitutional violation that's reiterated in 1972 statute. Its a totally debatable constitutional issue.
The Republicans are liars... yeah yeah yeah. As if the Democrats don't lie every second of every day.
