I haven't heard any evidence from the lefties either. They seem unusually quiet answering this question.... I mean like Surfermom says, you have to have evidence to impeach someone but if there isn't any and
there is no constitutional hearing where the evidence can be provided then this seems more like the kangaroo court of Nancy Pelosi where a president has been impeached for something invented by the Democrats with no hearing and no evidence.
Hardly constitutional or democratic or even legal.
I ask again, where did I claim any of the above? Now I am the one asking for proof
. You may be fighting your own image in mirror, I'm afraid.
You ask why there isn't more pursuit of proof from "lefties". If you mean Democrats, they are building their case by passing the Articles of Impeachment in the House. Their pursuit of truth will depend on whether or not they send the resolution to the Senate. Frankly, I hope the people who are asking the most questions are Republicans. Whether we are Americans, Republicans, doctors, teachers, or military personnel, we maintain our legitimacy when we police our own the most rigorously.
We still maintain the grand jury process here. While you all send people directly to court, the impeachment process here still works like a grand jury. The first phase of the impeachment process in the House was specifically built in to prevent what you suggest - a kangaroo court.
The second phase - the trial, is explicitly spelled out in the Constitution, which will place in the Senate. It is legal and democratic, specifically because it infuses the system with checks and balances to insure the rights of the accused, and to prevent frivolous claims. It is really important to understand that Impeachment in no way, shape, or form is a proclamation that high crimes and misdemeanors have been committed.
