Democrats are a much greater threat to the US than Trump

Peter Heck:
I do understand that for much of the left, impeaching Trump wasn’t born of a cognitive or reasoned analysis. It was the culmination of three years’ worth of seething hatred and a pre-announced commitment to, in the immortal words of the esteem Representative Rashida Tlaib, “impeach the motherf*****.”

Still, the entire spectacle has been a bit bizarre if you honestly try to approach it from a dispassionate perspective. Impeachment is like an indictment for a normal citizen. Suppose you get arrested for killing a man. The county prosecutor will evaluate the evidence and see if there’s enough there to put you on trial. If there’s not, charges are dropped and you walk. If there is, he will indict you, meaning you have to stand trial before a jury that decides if you’re guilty.

In impeachment, the House of Representatives acts as the prosecutor determining if there was enough evidence against the President to put him on trial. And in the case of Trump, they have voted to impeach (indict) him and bring their case against him in front of the Senate. Like a jury, they will decide if he’s guilty – removing him if so, acquitting him if not.

Imagine a scenario where the prosecutor in your trial indicted you, but then refused to bring his case against you in front of the jury because he was afraid they wouldn’t do their jobs properly. It’s not his prerogative to do so, and would reflect very poorly on his understanding and fealty to the law if he did.

Yet that’s where we are with the current impasse in Washington. Fearing the Senate won’t vote as they would themselves, House Democrats are refusing to bring their case. That isn’t their prerogative and it reflects very poorly on their understanding and fealty to the law. What’s even more bizarre is that their celebrity cheerleaders are praising them for it....
...
Wait, so this is about “payback?” Not justice? Not the Constitution? Is this the face that the Democrats want to put on their entire undertaking? Besides, if Pelosi never brings her case, Trump remains in office, conducting government, and it’s as though the impeachment never really happened in the first place. How, precisely, is that supposed to be a “win” for the anti-Trump factions of the left?
...
Democrats think this is an indelible stain on Trump, but his supporters see it as a stain on the Democrat party for bringing such a bogus case.  Their hypocrisy is hard to hide.

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

Bin Laden's concern about Zarqawi's remains

James Robbins: ... Bin Laden suggests that President Bush should allow Zarqawi’s body to be returned to his family in Jordan, but this is a matter that is up to the Jordanian government, which so far has not shown much interest in facilitating a homecoming. Bin Laden mocks King Abdullah II, calling him a Coalition minion, and asking “w hat scares you about Abu Musab after he’s dead? You know that his funeral, if allowed to happen, would be a huge funeral showing the extent of sympathy with the mujahedin.” A large crowd would definitely turn out, though most people would be on hand to demonstrate their anger and disgust. Last November’s hotel bombings in Amman , masterminded by Zarqawi, are still fresh in people’s memory, and mentioning them to Jordanians has the same visceral impact as memory of the 9/11 attacks does here. Jordan has adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards those who choose to mourn the country’s least favorite son, and four opposition members of parliament who paid con
