Trumps Perverse Defense, He Should Not Be Impeached Even If He's Found Guilty

[skews13]

The claim that impeachment "subverts" the will of the people is bizarre on its face. Was it subverting the will of the people when Clinton was impeached? How could any impeachment - which is, of course, in the Constitution - be pursued without the prospect of removing an elected president? To suggest, as Trump's response does, that impeachment is "a dangerous attack on the right of the American people to freely choose their President," is to assert that the Framers were out of their minds for including impeachment in the Constitution in the first place. And Trump probably shouldn't raise the issue of "the will of the people" to "freely choose their President," when he lost the election by 3,000,000 votes.

The will of the people want witnesses and documents. I'm sure the defense will be arguing the will of the people be recognized.

What Trump is saying is that once you are elected, you can do anything you wish or else it would upset the will of the people

No, that is not what he said. And nothing he has done has been proven to have been against the law, as hard as they have tried.

Found guilty of what?

The articles don't even ALLEGE a crime!

President Trump is entirely correct for the reasons he states and you do not bother to include. His enemies have been trying to impeach him since before before he was even sworn in. The American people elected him in a fair and honest election and he was made President by their will. You don't get to change the rules just because you don't like the results. Like him; don't like him; that's your choice. Either way if you are American he is your President and will remain so. How can he be found guilty when he has not been accused of a crime? I chose him. You don't get to overrule that choice just because your feelings are hurt. All y'all are doing is making hilarious fools of yourselves.

the Framers were out of their minds for including impeachment in the Constitution in the first place

Maybe they wouldn't have had to, if they had the foresight to include term limits ?

Is the Senate going to find him guilty??

 

[Lesh]

The partisan Republican Senate led by Uber partisan Moscow Mitch? Not likely.

but the American people deserve to see the evidence and Moscow Mitch is determined to hide as much of it as he can
