Is THIS all it takes for people to say "Well, that's fair, then?"
I have to agree with that. The "popular vote" whine is useless. Trump was duly elected by the constitutional method now in force. If you don't like the Electoral College system, then try and change it, but right now that's how the game is played. On the other hand, the Right's notion that all of the present hoorah is about "overturning the results of the election" and somehow installing Hillary in his place is a lurid fantasy which makes the Right appear unhinged.Incorrect. That's a fantasy Hillary's been telling herself and others to dull the pain of her failed election attempt. Having a slightly higher vote count does not entitle Hillary and the Democrats to overturn the election.

I don't think so. Only a dedicated political partisan could say something like that. "When we've gotten through violating all the rules, and gotten done what we wanted by so doing, then we'll reveal the truth or something we will call the truth."
Well, if they violated any rules you'll eventually know that too. The Republicans that sit on three committees will be able to tell you exactly what happened, they are behind those closed doors some listening and others listening and asking questions.Is THIS all it takes for people to say "Well, that's fair, then?"

What damage? Don't you believe that Pres. Trump is innocent?After the fact. And after the damage has been done. And we only have Schiff's word for that!
How can anyone blithely talk as though this is right??
Do you know how these committees work???Citation?
The question is, do you?Do you know how these committees work???
I've previously outlined the consequences of this assault on law, the Constitution, and established institutions of government. Also, about how one party circumvents the law and, if it succeeds, it will be encouraged to do it again while the other party will feel like adopting the same tactics in response. It cannot fail to hurt the country.What damage? .

I don't see where there has been any assault on the law by the Congress or any Congressional members.I've previously outlined the consequences of this assault on law, the Constitution, and established institutions of government.

YepThe question is, do you?
The Chairman of the committee has the authority to issue subpoenas after consulting with the ranking minority member or by vote by the whole committee.Do Republicans have equal subpoena powers?
Yes and yes.Are Republicans allowed to cross-examine the witnesses? Do Republicans have equal time?
Do you really want all of that politicization of questioning? Put a TV camera in front of this and little gets done.Even Jerry Nadler's judiciary committee rolled Republicans in televised hearings when the committee questioned Corey Lewandowski.
Republicans can release the facts of the hearing just as Democrats can. That little is coming out only shows Republicans have nothing good to talk about.I am under no illusion that Adam Schiff's kangaroo court being conducted behind closed doors is conducted any more fairly than the farce that Jerry Nadler spear-headed.

Meh. Trump's claim of Treason has every bit as much validity as the House "impeachment" activity.No, you've previously made unsupported and false statements about how this impeachment process is an assault on the law, when the reality is, it is following the law. Trump's claims of "treason" and refusing to adhere to subpoenas are the assault on law. The Constitution explicitly lays out the responsibility of the House as a check on Presidential authority.
Like what? They've passed more Bills than the Senate.Meh. Trump's claim of Treason has every bit as much validity as the House "impeachment" activity.
Noting that in addition to providing a "check on Presidential authority", as you say, congress also has a number of prescribed responsibilities which responsibilities have been largely neglected as the Democrat leaders devote all of their time to the impeachment frenzy.
LOL, noting that the Green New Deal was stopped in the Senate by Democrats.Like what? They've passed more Bills than the Senate.
