21 U.S. State Attorneys General Submit Legal Brief – Urging Senate to Reject Articles of Impeachment…
Posted on January 22, 2020 by sundance
EXCERPT:
It is not a process argument, but rather a matter of constitutional preservation.
Twenty-one U.S. Attorneys’ General submit a brief to the Senate (full pdf below) in support of complete rejection for the House articles of impeachment.
…”If not expressly repudiated by the Senate, the theories animating both Articles will set a precedent that is entirely contrary to the Framers’ design and ruinous to the most important governmental structure protections contained in our Constitution: the separation of powers”…

Attorneys General Submit Legal Brief in Support of Rejecting Impeachment Articles
Excerpt:
As Attorneys General of 21 States whose citizens and Electoral College delegates voted in the 2016 presidential election, we have a special duty to defend the integrity of the votes cast by those citizens and electors during that election. However, our interests go well beyond that particular election. This impeachment proceeding threatens
all
future elections and establishes a dangerous historical precedent. That new precedent will erode the separation of powers shared by the executive and legislative branches by subjugating future Presidents to the whims of the majority opposition party in the House of Representatives. Thus, our duty to current and future generations commands us to urge the Senate to not only reject the two articles of impeachment contained in H. Res. 755—“abuse of power” and “obstruction of Congress”—as lacking in any plausible or reasonable evidentiary basis, but also as being Fundamentally flawed as a matter of constitutional law.
If not expressly repudiated by the Senate, the theories animating both Articles will set a precedent that is entirely contrary to the Framers’ design and ruinous to the most important governmental structure protections contained in our Constitution: the separation of powers. As the House Judiciary Committee Democrats put it during the 1998 impeachment of President Clinton, “Impeachment is like a wall around the fort of the separation of powers. The crack we put in the wall today becomes the fissure tomorrow, which ultimately destroys the wall entirely.” We agree.

==================================
You have to be truly stupid to still think the Lefticrats have a case, they have NOTHING but nebulous charges. They are going to lose big, and they deserve derision for being freaking stupid to be pursuing this attack on the Separation powers idea..
