Today was the day for the House Rules Committee to determine protocol for tomorrow's vote on impeachment. But as of 8pm, the committee has failed even to identify the amount of time that will be allocated in the House for debate, prior to the vote!
Tucker described how the Democrats have sought impeachment even before Trump was elected President. At this point, their logic chain is difficult to follow, as the rationale for impeachment keeps shifting. Semantics should matter in such an important case. Yet the core words used for the reason why Trump is being impeached change on virtually a daily basis. The bottom line is that a crime has yet to be identified.
The utter futility and the wasting of time in this endeavor were pointed out by Tucker. In effect, it is inevitable that the Senate will not vote to impeach. So, what do the Democrats stand to gain from this exercise? The answer is clearly nothing. Moreover, Democratic members of the House may find the going rough in the 2020 re-election campaign. The charade is nothing less that the very definition of ideological extremism. Impeachment has become a religion. For Tucker, "the Democrats are trapped in a rage storm they created."
Rep. Debbie Lesko (R. Arizona) joined Tucker and called the impeachment "an unfair process from the start...it is a total nightmare." And the process is entirely partisan, illustrating precisely what the Founding Fathers dreaded. Tucker played clips from media commentators proclaiming Donald Trump as an example of what the framers of the Constitution dreaded. But, the exact opposite is clearly the case because the Founding Fathers wanted to avoid a purely partisan affair.
Historian Victor Davis Hanson joined Tucker to remind viewers that by definition, "progressives" today wish to go beyond what the framers of the Constitution believed. Hence, the drive to "remove" things, such as the electoral college. Indeed, today's progressives' premise is that the Constitution was flawed at the outset. But Federalist #55 and #56 reveal what the framers were afraid of, namely a partisan parliamentary referendum on a leader.
Another query posed by Hanson was the implication of four United States senators in January who are running for office while simultaneously ruling on the President. It is a cruel and tragic joke that is dividing the nation.
