Conservative Resurgence Gear


It was fascinating to see to see Speaker Pelosi, fresh from a congressional jaunt to a climate change conference in sunny Spain, explain to us the urgency of impeaching President Trump after, as Rep. Andy Biggs points out, the equivalent of two months of congressional recesses in which none of the American people's business was done.

One of those was the Thanksgiving recess, during which the 31 House members from House districts Trump won, and others, got an earful from constituents who wanted to know why nothing's been done on prescription drug prices, border security, putting together a budget, or the USMCA trade agreement with Canada and Mexico. Right now, it looks like a virtual Christmas Eve impeachment vote happening on Dec. 21 or Dec. 22. More likely her urgency is triggered by the upcoming multi-week Christmas recess, where, once again, constituents will give their representatives an earful, further cooling impeachment fervor, which polls say is declining among the American people, particularly among independents and in key battleground states.

Pelosi, who probably had to be told by staff who James Madison is, wrapped herself in the Constitution and the intent of the Founding Fathers after a lifetime of opposing originalist nominees to the U.S. Supreme Court and telling us that the Constitution, which created the Electoral College, which she and other Democrats now oppose, is a living document that means what activist judges say it means in the context of the liberal agenda of our times. If George Washington had been told he could be impeached over a conversation with a foreign leader in which no bribes were offered or accepted, he might have retired to Mt. Vernon a little early, telling us to forget the whole thing.
George Washington, James Madison, George Mason, and all the others believed in full due process, and the rights of the accused, including the right to confront one's accusers, call witnesses in defense of the charge, and cross-examine hostile witnesses in fair and open proceedings. They did not believe in star chamber proceedings in the basement of the House of Representatives. They expected that the defendant would know the crime, and it had to be a real crime — not a tweet being witness intimidation being a high crime and misdemeanor. They did not expect the "ccrime" to be based on hearsay and presumptions, defined by whatever term did the best when trotted out before focus groups.

They established three branches of government, not two, as token defense witness Prof. Jonathan Turley so eloquently put it. Disputes between the Legislative and Executive Branches were to be settled by the courts, but Nancy Pelosi has no time for the courts. If Congress wants documents and testimony and the White House refuses, take it to court. This is no more obstruction of Congress than a presidential veto of a bill is. It is not grounds for impeachment.
