Nancy Pelosi Has Gotten Impeachment Right

n Monday, the House Judiciary Committee held its latest hearing in the impeachment inquiry of Donald Trump. The hearing further confirmed two main themes that have run throughout these hearings. First, Republicans are opting for disruption and process complaints over substance in their defense of Trump. Second, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi made the correct call in delegating the bulk of the work to the House Intelligence Committee rather than the Judiciary Committee.

Republicans attempted to disrupt the proceeding with interruptions, shouted procedural motions, and personal attacks on Democratic members. Both the Republican-sponsored testimony and the questions by their counsel avoided engaging the facts of the Ukraine case, instead focusing on establishing a narrative that the proceeding itself is illegitimate, merely part of a long-running Democratic effort to “overturn the results of the 2016 election.” The strategy was twofold: To inflame the suspicions and resentments of Trump’s most ardent supporters and, by denying even obvious facts, sow confusion among those just now focusing on this scandal. The objective throughout has been to ensure that the anger of Trump partisans and exasperated uncertainty among the rest of the citizenry will deflect attention from the evidence.

Too bad the republicans still won't vote for it.

I will pray for at least 20 Republicans to change their minds.

We are reaching the end of the age when evil must ultimately prevail for a time, so you may get your wish.

My wish is for Trump to get kicked out of office, so it has nothing to do with when I will see the end of evil.
