So at least we agree that Trump should have been impeached.

Pity the right gave him a pass card.

Article 1) Don’t feel the Ukrainian issue is an impeachable event. If one studies the writings of the framers of the Constitution they would find the this was not in line the intent of Impeachment.

Article 2) The SCOTUS mediates disagreements between the Executive and Legislative branches. Think separation of powers, checks and balances etc.... No part of the Constitution says Congress is Superior to the President.

If Article 1 is flawed, then Article 2 is irrelevant.

Try again.

the writings of the Framers who cobbled together the power of impeachment showed what their intent was: it was to limit the power of a monarchical executive...they were looking for some constraints on an POTUS who was an authoritarian...they did not contemplate a POTUS with limitless power who could avoid impeachment by fiat...

makes no sense when you know what they were trying to accomplish...they used George Washington, a humble hero, up as an example and wondered what to do with an anti-Washington...

This is worse. Take it from a friend, it's not even over-the-top humor.

I told you I was taking a break until my president was acquited (forever). He is now acquited. Gloating is fun. I believe you told me (and I apologize in advance if I am incorrect) that not everything is black and white and you were right. Everything is Republican or Communism. Now I know you are not a communist but you have a lot of hate for your only choice other than the communist candidates that make up this elections batch of Democrats.

I did say you did not allow for anything other than black or white, and I smiled now as you switched it to Republican or Commie out of respect to me...HA!

But that hate you are sensing is coming from within. I may hate that so-and-so is President or even the center fielder for the Yankees, but I don't really hate them as real people, nor wish him/her harm, nor wish him/her dead. We need to work on that stuff.

OK. maybe I'd wish for a slight hamstring twinge for the center fielder when the Yanks are playing the Red Sox.

We on for coffee in the morning?
