For weeks, we were told that we couldn't wait, we had to go forward with impeachment before Christmas, that the Republic was at stake. And then this House passed a purely partisan impeachment yesterday, and the Speaker has decided to hold the Articles of Impeachment. That underscores the word ``sham.'' That puts an exclamation point after the word ``sham.'' That shows what a ridiculous exercise we just went through. We can't dictate to the Senate how they handle their trial. They get to pick that. This shows that they got cold feet on the other side. They don't have a case. They can't win a fair trial in the Senate, and they know it, and they are afraid to send the articles over there where it will get the fair trial and not the kangaroo court we had here. ____________________
