Rush to Judgment???

 I read the American Spectator daily. I don't always agree with everything they write, but we are pretty close. One of my favorite writers there is Dov Fischer. Dov is an attorney and a Rabbi, so he may be a practicing schizophrenic. In a column today he wrote this gem. "Since Trump Impeachment now is an annual American social event like Georgia’s Vidalia Onion Festival and reminiscent of the former annual Great Steamboat Race on the Ohio River between Cincinnati’s Delta Queen and the Belle of Louisville, we now all know that impeachment conviction requires a two-thirds Senate vote."

To no sane person's surprise, the liberal maniacs in the House today voted to impeach President Donald Trump. Ten of the "Country Club Republicans" voted with them. Remember them when the Revolution comes.

Did the House investigate these charges carefully? Did they take any statements from witnesses? Did they hold hearings on the matter? Of course not. they just drew up Articles of Impeachment and voted. Will the Senate bother with a trial or will they just vote so they can return to working on "The Great Society, The Encore". Is this a Rush to Judgment?

Can you hold an impeachment trial for a "former" president?  Just for the record, the US Constitution says that any Civil Officer may be impeached and tried. The only problem is that after Jan. 20, Donald Trump is a private citizen and there is no provision for the Senate to try a private citizen.  If so, can we impeach Clinton again or Obama? Can we impeach FDR? Does the President even have to be alive? If not, the Democrats will go after Nixon and Reagan.

Rep. Jim Jordan pointed today out that Americans are tired of the double standard of the Democrats. American cities were burned and looted this year, while Democrats claimed that these were just "social justice warriors" looking for "equality". Maybe if conservatives rebrand ourselves as "Election Justice Warriors", we can get better treatment from the media. Yeah, when pigs fly!

I read Trump's comments and "tweets" and can find nothing that resembles "inciting an insurrection". I would not even consider the incident at the Capitol to be an "insurrection". If burning and looting cities is not an insurrection, then how could the incident at the Capitol be an insurrection? There is no firm evidence provided about what happened in the death of the police officer. Even less information has been released about the young lady shot by the Capitol Police. The three people who died of "medical emergencies" are not any part of the death toll. Let's face it, people die at sporting events in the excitement. That doesn't mean the team gets charged with an "insurrection".

Here's what I do think. In a few years, the incident at the Capitol on Jan. 6 will be regarded in this country in the same way that the French celebrate the storming of the Bastille on July 14. This will be the day that the direction of the nation changed. It won't be liberals celebrating.

With the Democrats in charge in Washington, this question bears asking: Do we have a state-owned media or a media-owned state? Asking for a friend. Thanks, John.
