This is a sad day for the institution of Congress, a blatantly political process, and, yes, an abuse of power by the majority designed to achieve what they simply could not achieve at the ballot box.

This impeachment is going to fail. And the Democrats are going to justly pay a heavy political price for it.
Dec 10, 2019
It is an absurdity to claim that the granting to Congress of the sole power of impeachment implies duties to the President to cooperate in any and all congressional requests, no matter their merit.

The folks that will be regretting what they are doing are the Democrats in swing districts, who probably aren't coming back.
Dec 10, 2019
They got what they wanted. They got their drive-by. They got their political smear.
Dec 10, 2019
The Democrats have no case when it comes to obstruction. This obstruction charge is completely baseless and bogus.
Dec 10, 2019
This majority has taken the position, quite frankly, the dubious position that despite their precedent to the contrary that a vote of the full House is not required to open an impeachment proceeding.
Dec 10, 2019
Everybody said there was no conditionality, everybody that participated, everybody that listened.

I support the Jordan amendment because this Article I, this abuse of power that they allege in the impeachment theory, is a total joke.
Dec 10, 2019
We have called this impeachment a sham because we just simply don't have a better way to describe it.
Dec 10, 2019
The big lie is this. And one of the Democrats have told the American people they have said this for 3 years.
Dec 10, 2019
No collusion, no obstruction, no quid pro quo, no treason, no bribery, and no high crimes and misdemeanors.
Dec 10, 2019
This is a predetermined--you guys have been wanting to impeach this President since he got elected.
Dec 10, 2019
The President has legitimate Constitutional privileges, and the courts can and should determine the boundaries of these privileges.
Dec 10, 2019
Public opinion has not coalesced around this act, which should also alert us to the danger that, by proceeding, we would further divide and alienate the American people.
Dec 10, 2019
I don't know about you, but I am not a rubber stamp, and I don't like what I have been forced to do.
Dec 10, 2019
We had a bunch of law professors, three of which who cannot stand the President, who cannot stand his voters, and cannot stand the fact that he is still in office, telling us why he should be impeached.
Dec 10, 2019
The process that ensued was anything but open, transparent, bipartisan, or equitable, abandoning all past historic due process afforded the minority and the President.
Dec 10, 2019
I certainly hope so, because it will be good for the country. It is bipartisan.
Dec 10, 2019
The only direct evidence in this case remains the same after all this time. No pressure. No pressure in the phone call.
