A Partisan Impeachment Vote & A Tragedy for the Nation – and The Republic

 Opinion: A Partisan Impeachment Vote

Senators demanded a fair inquiry. That isn’t what the House delivered Thursday.

“The Pelosi impeachment resolution was supposed to deprive the GOP of its complaint that the process wasn’t formal,” Kimberley Strassel writes. Instead, the House vote “handed Republicans the gift of bipartisanship. In what was something of an embarrassment for the speaker, two Democrats, New Jersey’s Rep. Jeff Van Drew and Minnesota’s Rep. Collin Peterson, voted with Republicans against the impeachment resolution.”

 Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) gavels the close of a vote by the U.S. House of Representatives on a resolution formalizing the impeachment inquiry

 “Impeachment is now one party against America,” Michael Goodwin writes. “After months of pushing back against impeachment, Pelosi has abandoned any pretense of being a leader. She has jumped on the bandwagon led by such kooks as Texas Rep. Al Green. He has been demanding impeachment since 2017 — on what grounds, he didn’t know and didn’t care.”

  1. Absolutely Incredible. The Founding Fathers would not stand for this crap. Neither should we. I hear a lot of folks say that we will re-elect President TRUMP, hold the senate, and take back the house in 2020. That will show them who's boss. I don't know if it can wait that long. This is out of hand, OVER THE TOP.

      Precisely and why Pelosi didn't want to do this and she may well have been correct.

  2. It's not just the Democrats. It boils down to the Deep State Elites vs. The President. If you don't believe that just ask Mittens.
