[TheRealThing]

I just provided some facts to your opinions of how impeachment should proceed.
I agree the process of the Clinton Impeachment and Trial seemed fair and balanced with both sides (legislative and executive) participating. They actually had very little precedent to work with, because the Impeachment and trial of President Johnson was an absolute mess with corruption at its worst.
So now there is an example of what a Impeachment trial should look like. I am interested to see what the Senate Majority Leader will do.

"Republicans adhere to the US Constitution" really? You are gonna hang your hat on all Republicans adhere to the Constitution?

The bolded; I tossed that around for a few seconds, considering how adamant I might state my answer. Which of course is absolutely yes. But it is amazing how libs try to couch things in a would-be gesture of capitulation, without actually admitting the obvious. But by way of irony---

"On this day in HISTORY," 1974, the House Judiciary Committee recommends that America’s 37th president, Richard M. Nixon, be impeached and removed from office. The impeachment proceedings resulted from a series of political scandals involving the Nixon administration that came to be collectively known as Watergate."

The Nixon impeachment and the Clinton impeachment nearly mirrored each other procedurally. While you're downplaying or making huge omissions from a very replete historical record on impeachments, Republicans have laid out the precedential record for all to see. I mean given this whole farce is nothing more than the Dem's making good on their vows of retaliation for the Clinton impeachment, I'd hate to think we'd have them roll around MUCH more frequently than they already have. Just considering the events of modern times, the third time was the charm where it came to weaponizing the impeachment process as things stand. Suffice it to say that we have PLENTY of procedural ground on which to base this sham impeachment. The only reason the Dems are calling for and you're glomming onto, the new rules bandwagon is because there is absolutely zero evidence that the President did the first thing wrong, much less commit any sort of an impeachable offense. There has to be a world of laxity here in the La-La universe for this Dem's only impeachment to be successful.

Now, I usually do not fail to call out the RIMO's when they deserve it. People like Jeff Flakey (gone) and Lisa Murkowski and all too often, Susan Collins and others, for their lack of moral integrity. But this is categorical, if not for the Republicans this nation would be in far worse sted than at present. Republicans far more closely adhere to our national heritage, the Constitution and our founding traditionally conservative values than do the Dems. That fact is beyond debate.
