Senate has a duty to reject Democrats unconstitutional 'impeachment'

PJ Media:

On Thursday, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell condemned Democrats' "partisan crusade" of impeachment, warning that Nancy Pelosi's House of Representatives crossed a political "Rubicon" and "opened the Pandora's box of subjective political impeachments," a move that no previous House has done in American history. Citing the Founders, he urged the Senate to fulfill its constitutional role and counter the passions of the House.

"The Senate's duty is clear," he declared. "Only one outcome will preserve core precedents rather than shatter them into bits in a fit of partisan rage." McConnell urged the Senate to reject the articles of impeachment in order to "serve the stabilizing, institution-preserving, fever-breaking role for which the United States Senate was created."

Indeed, the Founders conceived of the Senate as a check on the passions of the people as expressed by the House of Representatives. The Republican leader argued that the Senate was created for just such a time as this.

"House Democrats want to create new rules for this president because they feel uniquely enraged," he argued. "This is by far the thinnest basis for any House-passed presidential impeachment in American history." He condemned it as "the most rushed, least thorough, and most unfair impeachment inquiry in modern history."

McConnell noted that Pelosi is considering not sending the articles of impeachment over to the U.S. Senate. After rushing through the process of impeachment in the House, "they're content to sit on their hands."

"The Democrats' own actions concede their allegations are unproven. The allegations are not just unproven, they're also legally incoherent," he said. "If the Senate blesses this historically low bar, we will invite the impeachment of every single future president."

Mark Levin also believes the Democrats knew this but want to delegitimize any more Supreme Court nominations by Trump.  They view the Supreme Court as their way around the legislative process to impose laws that have been rejected by the people. It is why they treated Kavanaugh so unfairly.
