    Default Impeachment in search of High Crimes and Misdemeanors

    watching the Judiciary committee.. Swalwell is saying "Abuse of power" is a crime but can't cite the exact incident

    Then some goofball sezs "Nixon was impeached on Abuse of power" - missing the point the CRIMES of Obstruction of Justice, Racketeering etc,were listed as statue violations under that grouping.


    Then they start up with bribery and extortion, but where is the Article to support that??

    It's hilarious

    Talk about being drunk on the Kool aid, whew, the abuse of power is using his position as President to obtain ends for his own personal gain, really not all that difficult

    You can’t prove his intention was to hurt Biden before 2020. If his intention was to snuff out corruption from the 2016 election (Hillary’s servers etc), then you got no crime. Plus, no one is talking about how sketchy the Biden/Burisma actually is.

    cite a statute. show a quid pro quo. where is "bribery" ? "extortion" ? the goofballs were yammering about?
    Simply saying you don't like the phone call, or you 'think "national security" was damaged doesn't cut it.

    Madison SPECIFICALLY warned us not to use "maladministration" as an impeachable offense

    Articles have to be written as a crime, not a nebulous "abuse of power" -and please don't start with
    "Obstruction of Congress" when the Dems didn't even try to compel testimony thru the courts.

    LIVE NOW.................


    Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
    empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
    pain in abortion.

    Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
    which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

    You know Adam Schiff and Nadler are lying when their lips are moving. This video illustrates what a lie filled clown show the Democrats put on:

    "When government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny."


    A lie doesn't become the truth, wrong doesn't become right, and evil doesn't become good just because it is accepted by a majority.

    Obama did worse; he told the Congress that he would act without him like a Fascistic dumbfuck. And you Fascistic dunces on the left cheered!

    Obama says he's prepared to act without Congress in State of the Union address

    Yet he didn't do that and the morons in the Party of the Jackass lacked any evidence supporting that lie filled narrative. Poor Arsecheese, still stuck on moron.

    Impeachment is not a court of law. Impeachment is a political process giving Congress the authority to remove a president for gross and flagrant political misconduct.
    The Common Misconception About ‘High Crimes and Misdemeanors’
    The constitutional standard for impeachment is different from what’s at play in a regular criminal trial.


    In the Federalist Papers, Alexander Hamilton made the larger point that impeachment is directed at “political” offenses that “proceed from … the abuse or violation of some public trust.”

    the Federalist Papers are NOT the Constitution! there was a lot of debate on what constituted an "impeachable offense"

    The text "High Crimes and misdemeanors was used SPECIFICALLY to show only crimes of Office were impeachable
    - not vague "maladministration" like "abuse of power"

    read the Constitution -read the text.
