Liberal network tries to suppress Trump defense lawyers

Townhall:
MSNBC cut to a commercial break as soon as President Trump’s legal defense team took the microphone to answer a question about how the Framers would view partisan impeachment.

Reading a question from Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) and some of his colleagues, Chief Justice John Roberts said: “How would the Framers view removing a president without an overwhelming consensus of the American people and on the basis of articles of impeachment supported by one political party and opposed by the other?”

The network apparently didn’t want its viewers to hear how White House defense attorney Alan Dershowitz would answer that one.

Dershowitz went on to say Alexander Hamilton directly addressed this concern and he believed the Framers would be “appalled” by how the impeachment of President Trump has been carried out.

“Alexander Hamilton] said the greatest danger of impeachment is if it turns on the votes of one party being greater than the voters of the other party in either house. So I think they would be appalled to see an impeachment going forward in violation of the Schumer rule and the rules of other congressmen that were good enough for us during the Clinton impeachment but seem to have changed dramatically in the current situation,” said Dershowitz, a liberal Democrat.

He then argued that the House of Representatives has acted as if it is above the law.

“The criteria that have been set out are so lawless they basically paraphrase Congresswoman Maxine Waters (D-CA) who said ‘there is no law – anything the House wants to do to impeach is impeachable.’ That’s what’s happened today. That places the House of Representatives above the law,” Dershowitz said. “The House of Representatives is not above the law…to use that criteria that it’s whatever the House says it is, whatever the Senate says it is, turns those bodies into lawless bodies in violation of the intent of the Framers.”
...
The liberal networks also tried to suppress Pam Bondi's expose of Biden corruption and Hunter's deal with Barisma in Ukraine.  I suspect that these same networks will act shocked that Senators vote against this partisan impeachment.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. 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
