I agree that if thre is one area of "progress" over the past 2 1/2 centuries, we seem to be making "better idiots."
You pose great questions to the
members of the opposition, and their answers - or ability to evade answering - is of interest to us all. The norm is for any Article of Impeachment presented by a House member to be first reviewed by the House Judiciary Committee.
The current chair of the Judiciary Committee is the Hon. John Conyers, Jr. (D) Michigan, 14th. The remaining Democratics members (22 out of 38 total) are: Hon. Berman, (D) California, 28th; Hon. Boucher, (D) Virginia, 9th; Hon. Nadler, (D) New York, 8th; Hon. Scott,
(D) Virginia, 3rd; Hon. Watt, (D) North Carolina, 12th; Hon. Lofgren, (D) California, 16th; Hon. Jackson Lee, (D) Texas, 18th; Hon. Waters, (D) California, 35th; Hon. Delahunt, (D) Massachusetts, 10th; Hon. Wexler, (D) Florida, 19th; Hon. Sánchez, (D) California, 39th; Hon. Cohen, (D) Tennessee, 9th; Hon. Johnson, (D) Georgia, 4th; Hon. Sutton, (D) Ohio, 13th; Hon. Gutierrez, (D) Illinois, 4th; Hon. Sherman, (D) California, 27; Hon. Baldwin, (D) Wisconsin, 2nd; Hon. Weiner, (D) New York, 9th; Hon. Schiff, (D) California, 29th; Hon. Davis, (D) Alabama , 7th; Hon. Wasserman Schultz, (D) Florida, 20th; and Hon. Ellison, (D) Minnesota, 5th.
So, is this another of the "great conspiracies" or just political rhetoric? If I was still a Democrat (chased away by the DNC after the FL primary debacle), I'd want to know why all the talk from the Dems and yet no action to back it up????
