House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler’s argument Thursday against President Trump’s interpretation of what constitutes an impeachable offense used the words of Trump’s top supporters against him.
Nadler was brilliant.
Garcia is taking the guts out of the countervailing theories and putting the GOP on notice that to defend Trump is to embrace Russian propaganda. Garcia is not the best speaker, but her outline is methodical and clear. Schiff will probably repackage all of this and punctuate it.
The hypocrisy, it burns!
I thought we already knew that irony is never lethal, no matter the dosage.
The act of replaying videos of Republican talking points and turning it against them… Its the Daily Show with Jerry Nadler.
“Graham had exited the chamber by the time the clip of his remarks was being played.”
Try exiting the Jury Box during the middle of the DA’s opening statement next time you’re on Jury Duty & see what the Judge* has to say about it.
*any Judge but John Roberts
Trying to imagine how I’d feel if I was being shown to be a hypocritical lying POS in front of the Senate and the world. But then I still have the ability to imagine. 51 of these things are using oxygen but they’re not technically sentient beings with the ability to do anything but lie and hate. Oh and an occasional crossword.
Judge Potted Plant.
Chief Shrubbery of the formerly Supreme Court.
Roberts is treating his role exactly the same way as C.J. Rehnquist did during the Clinton impeachment. You can blame the Senate impeachment rules for that, because they give Roberts no authority that can’t be overridden by a simple majority vote. Furthermore, nothing in the rules require the Senators to remain in their seats, or even to attend the trial at all.
Look, we all know that this won’t change the Trial outcome, but making the Republicans eat their own words now is brilliant strategy for November. And in the near term it puts Graham, Dershowitz, Barr and Turley on the defensive.
If only any of it mattered.
The GOP will exit this travesty of the Constitution invigorated.
Until what just happened to the above document sinks in.
Every one of them who facilitated this will be on Record.
FOREVER
And, for the immediate future, it will be worse for them, because there are months to come in which to justify what they just did to American voters:
They placed the GOP above the United States Constitution.
The (forever) Infamy they will own after they have died will not generate hisses and boos they will be able to hear.
Isn’t that a bad Ras poll for Trump?
Yep and I hope we can keep them on the defensive clear through November and I think we can.
@jrw - it matters
Damn right.
Wonder how Miss Lindsey is feeling right about now after having been quoted verbatim? Probably madder than a wet hen.
Absolutely.
But, but her tan suit. I mean, but, but his emails. Ugg, I’m getting confused …
I was gonna for an Animal Farm ref, but what’s the point. Let’s just go with … white, male, str8, christian good. The rest of us … not so much.
