Impeachment is a rebuke, a statement to a politician that they have not met the expectations of their office. Think of impeachment as a write-up, but not a termination. It's a step toward termination, but it doesn't have to result in termination. 2 1 Link to comment
Scarlet Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 @Notre Dame Joe can you post your legal credentials as they relate to your JD please? Because you keep repeating the opposite interpretation of what the majority of constitutional scholars state. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.politico.com/amp/news/2021/01/21/legal-scholars-federalist-society-trump-convict-461089 “We differ from one another in our politics, and we also differ from one another on issues of constitutional interpretation,” wrote the signatories, which include the co-founder and other members of the conservative Federalist Society legal group. “But despite our differences, our carefully considered views of the law lead all of us to agree that the Constitution permits the impeachment, conviction, and disqualification of former officers, including presidents.” Thanks in advance 1 Link to comment

knapplc Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Yup. Everything happened because trump encouraged it. Created the "steal" idea out of thin air, then spent two months convincing the drones that it was real, and that they should take action over it. 1 Link to comment
DevoHusker Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 I am just curious how Swalwell is an "out front manager" for the Ds? 1 Link to comment
knapplc Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Hold him in contempt and eject him from the proceedings. Adjust the impeachment math accordingly. 1 1 Link to comment

This is a disingenuous narrative by detractors to minimize what happened in the wake of Trump's election loss. It's not just about preventing him from running for office again. That's a punishment. Just like prison is a punishment for a murderer. But, you don't put a murderer on trial because you only want to send them to prison. You put them on trial because of their actions. That's analogous to what's happening here to Trump. He's not being impeached just to stop a future re-election. He's being impeached because of his actions. It's baffling, though unsurprising, that some people out there are trying to turn the narrative into something it isn't. 1 Link to comment
