"The Constitution that entrusts our presidents with great but limited powers provides a remedy for those who exercise them without care or restraint. President Trump has misused and exceeded his authority so incontrovertibly, remorselessly and habitually as to warrant the founding document's severest answer: impeachment and removal from office.
Donald John Trump has wielded presidential power in ways the framers feared most: to serve his own interests over the nation's, subvert elections through foreign interference, and obstruct attempts to hold him accountable."
Trump tweeted the following this morning. This is surely the first time in his life he didn't get what he wants. This is the first time in his life somebody told him "No". What a spoiled brat!
"Can you believe that I will be impeached today by the Radical Left, Do Nothing Democrats, AND I DID NOTHING WRONG! A terrible Thing. Read the Transcripts. This should never happen to another President again. Say a PRAYER!"

It's completely laughable. Say a prayer?? FOR WHAT???
I'm finally giving in, from now on I am basing all of my opinions and beliefs with regard to the impeachment on what the Chief Legal Analyst at Fox News says:
Cancel my subscription to the Resurrection
Send my credentials to the House of Detention
I got some friends inside
The lack of women and diversity among the Republican members of Congress is more than a little bit telling. Rebuttal please. One side of congress represents the diversity of America, the other side looks like the board of directors at a country club.

How do people feel about the idea of preventing the senate from taking the impeachment to a trial? I don't know all of the procedural details, but I love the idea of holding their feet to the fire. If they aren't willing to call witnesses in the senate, may as well retain the impeachment and see if you can continue to build evidence you can disclose to the public to buttress the articles of impeachment.
