Donald Trump is sometimes tone deaf—often a bull in a china shop—but his alleged missteps are trifles in comparison to Lincoln’ lawlessness and villainy, his criminal coercion of peacefully departing sovereign states.
Not that long ago, it seems, Congressional Democrats were calling the Constitution an outdated impediment to “smart,” progressive government, but lately they are professing their high regard for the founding document and its framers. “Solemn” and “prayerful,” they feign a reluctance to impeach Donald Trump while conducting a ruthless campaign to disenfranchise the 63 million people who voted for him in 2016. In spite of their newfound “originalism,” they attribute his victory over Hillary Clinton to America’s archaic electoral process. And the Republicans, with their global interventionism and Federal subsidies are hardly more respectful of constitutionality than are the Democrats. But one GOP congressman, at the House Judiciary Committee’s first impeachment hearing on December 4th— purely by accident —schooled both parties in real American history and the actual high crimes and misdemeanors of another president 160 years ago.
