Republicans should be able to call the witnesses they choose. That's how due process works.Of course not. The accountability pieces are working as they were designed, to let both accuser and defender have their say. It's not just an avenue for democrats to attack, you know. At any rate, Trump will be gone by 2025. Just hold on until then.
This is definitely not how it was “designed”. No one intended the president to obstruct any effort at congressional oversight. It was not designed to allow the president to stall for years to avoid accountability.
He's not stalling anything. He's using our judicial system for what it was specifically designed to do. The commies believe that the executive branch is beholden to jump on their commands. That's not what separation of powers means. The President has the right to isolate the executive from the legislative attacks, specifically when the legislative becomes tyrannical.
This is not about misdemeanors, high crimes, or Trump doing anything wrong. This is about making attempts to remove him so they stand a chance at winning the next election, because they know they can't beat him at the polls.
Trump’s legal theories are ludicrous and have no merit. Isolating himself from legislative attacks, otherwise known as oversight removes the ability for the legislative branch to carry out a constitutional process of impeachment.
The commies forbade the Republicans from bringing in their witnesses to testify. What we have here is an impeachment based on testimony of hand picked witnesses that more or less support their accusation. Do you think that's American?
But in spite of it being totally one sided, the Democrats are crying it isn't one sided enough. They need even more weight on their side of the scale.
In our system of justice, the accused has the right to face his or her accuser. Not in this case. The accuser is hidden not only from the accused, but the public as well.
Republicans should call some actual witnesses. After complaining that the whistleblower has no first hand information, for some reason they want him to testify? It’s a sham. Hunter Biden is the least relevant person to the impeachment effort. He would not be able to produce any relevant information.
Republicans aren’t making a serious effort here.
