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.

Extremely ironic considering Nixon was a Republican and you said ALL republicans adhere to the Constitution.

Since you brought it up, I reviewed the Nixon Impeachment. The initial Impeachment inquiry into Nixon was down partisan lines. It wasn't until Nixon obstructed Congress and the Supreme Court had to step in that he started to lose Republican followers in Congress. Even at that only a 7 of 17 Republicans peeled off and voted with the 21 Democrats on the Judiciary committee on Article II (abuse of power).

Impeachment has been stranger than fiction here in the good old USA. The Nixon impeachment procedures developed in part by a young Hillary Clinton were used 26 years later on her husband. Another young lawyer, Bill Weld, whose investigations established the grounds of what is impeachable is running as a Republican in 2020. Who knew you were such fans of their work?

In all honesty, the Nixon/Trump impeachment accusations look very similar with the exception of who was asked to participate in the scandal. Nixon used Americans while Trump used foreign nationals. I thought he said he was going to keep jobs in America?

This nation has been built and formed by both political parties and at times each have been on the right side and wrong side of history. Neither has the corner on the market of righteousness.
