Some argue impeachment poses a political risk for Democrats. They say Republicans will claim Trump was vindicated regardless of the outcome. That gives Americans too little credit. I trust them to discern which of us did our patriotic duty and who played to political cynicism.
We should never pursue impeachment for political reasons. Nor should we avoid it for political reasons. It’s Congress’ job to determine whether the president broke the law and acted against the interests of the United States.
If we don’t act, we send the message that criminal behavior is normal for presidents. Trump will be more emboldened to ignore Congress. And we will increase cynicism among those who depend on us to uphold the law and the Constitution. None of that is acceptable.
@justinamash is right: “The risk we face in an environment of extreme partisanship is not that Congress will employ [impeachment] as a remedy too often but rather that Congress will employ it so rarely that it cannot deter misconduct..."https://twitter.com/justinamash/status/1129831625691414528 …
"Our system of checks and balances relies on each branch jealously guarding its powers and upholding its duties under our Constitution. When loyalty to a political party or to an individual trumps loyalty to the Constitution, the Rule of Law–the foundation of liberty–crumbles.”
Democrats are leading on the problems facing Americans: health care, ethics in government, comprehensive immigration reform and border security, gun safety, and civil rights. We must continue to pass groundbreaking legislation, as we have, and as we were elected to do.
And now we are assigned another solemn task by the Constitution and by current events. We need to begin impeachment hearings.
rather than "broke the law," we might say "violated his oath of office" and refused to Take Care of his constitutionally mandated duties--apply the Take Care Clause broadly in impeachment hearings bc his abuses go far beyond what's in Report, esp. Emoluments-related abuses
It certainly seems that @SpeakerPelosi is NOT pursuing impeachment for political reasons. Which is worse?
We worked our hearts out to give the Democrats the House and yet the Speaker refuses to do her Constitutional duty.
