[Correction: An earlier version of this post referred to Adam Schiff running the new impeachment hearing instead of Jerry Nadler. We had gotten in the habit of writing about Mr. Schiff. We regret the error.]
After huge press buildup and boundless enthusiasm in every newsroom, Democrat Judiciary Committee Chairman, Jerry Nadler, opened the first day of the impeachment hearing that Democrats have been plotting since before President Trump was even inaugurated. Clearly, Mr. Nadler was trying to build up a dramatic, scholarly case for impeachment, but what ensued was instead a rather embarrassing illustration that even Democrats’ most scholarly experts are little more than angry, petty partisans.
He brought in several law professors, assuming, I guess that Professors of Law would outrank and overpower plain old lawyers, but the professors merely followed the hard left discipline of American universities. The central idea seems to be that the president is guilty of violating the system of checks and balances and is therefore a threat to the Constitution. President Trump’s release of aid to Ukraine apparently depended on getting information on his 2020 opponent, Joe Biden. Interestingly, the name of the said opponent was never mentioned as far as I could tell, so the emphasis was not on the name but on the opponent part.
I suspect that a lot of Americans were appalled when they learned that the son of the Vice President of the United States who was in charge of aid to Ukraine, had been hired by Burisma, who paid him 38 monthly payments of $83,333.00 each although he had no qualifications whatsoever for the position, except his father’s last name. Hunter Biden didn’t know anything about the business, the industry, the country, nor did he even speak the language. Interestingly in the Schiff committee hearing, nobody mentioned the name of the 2020 opponent who has not yet been chosen or nominated. A thoroughly strange hearing.
If they had any sense, the Democrats would concentrate on trying to defeat President Trump at the ballot box, as the law prescribes, rather than the current sideshow.
There is currently a group of psychiatrists who are trying to get up an organization to encourage impeachment because they think , supposedly, that the president is clearly mentally ill. In other words, he’s a Republican.
It must be galling to the Democrats that the economy is booming, unemployment has dropped to the lowest level in years, household income is up, President Trump has just reminded the other members of NATO that they have agreed to cough up the amount that they promised to contribute.
Most Americans have respect for the Constitution and realize that impeachment should be reserved for real and deep misconduct. This is not going to end well for anyone.
