Senate Republicans seize on Dershowitz argument, say Trump’s actions aren’t impeachable

Senate Republicans said even if President Trump strong-armed Ukraine to help him politically, it is not an impeachable offense.
I think they are right about it not being impeachable.  In fact, the Schiff premise that the President could not investigate Biden because he was a potential candidate is absurd.   And the argument that going to court is "obstruction of Congress" is equally absurd.  It is unfortunate that the mainstream media cut away from the President's lawyers in presenting his defense because it was significantly stronger than the mess Schiff and Nadler put out.  I suspect that the anti-Trump left will have no idea why the Senators did not buy what the Democrats were trying to sell.

The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
