I'm beginning to think that liberals don't respect the Constitution at all. Sounds like they want to overthrow the electoral college and put a Democrat in office.[/quote]

Impeach != overthrow. And impeachment is in the Constitution.

[b]When you announce an impeachment BEFORE you know the actual facts[/b], then yes, it's it's overthrowing.

Impeachment is very specifically defined in the constitution.

Do you honestly know how bad it will look to mainstream America if you manage to throw Trump and Pence out of office and Pelosi becomes President? You probably don't because you live in the DC bubble. Probably are a Fed or a contractor.[/quote]

I honestly can't tell -- don't you know the difference between an "impeachment" and an "impeachment inquiry?" [/quote]

(still interested in an answer for this)[/quote]

I absolutely do. Why announce an inquiry before you have the transcript of the call? Why tweet about a whistleblower complaint end of August that comes to fruition end of September (hint, Schiff already knew). And why not read the transcript as is to the American people instead of creating what Schiff now calls a 'parody'.

I don't think they expected a transcript.[/quote]

You are the PP that was quoted? And you think an impeachment has been announced?

The point of an inquiry is to gather facts.[/quote]

It should be, yes. But there's a process that one has to go through in order to officially open an inquiry. And that includes a house vote. Has that taken place? [/quote]

This is how it works. This is how it worked for Nixon in Watergate, as well, and for the Clinton investigation  -- a subcommittee initiated an investigation and then recommended articles of impeachment to the full House. I mean, the House could just hold a floor vote, but why on earth would you think that is the only way forward?

**Care to cite a source for that claim?**

How the Impeachment Process Works[/quote]

Your source is behind a paywall.

Question for you: Do you believe it's inappropriate for the President, VP, or a member of Congress to work with a foreign government, especially one that is hostile, to get information on an opponent? Does that meet the definition of "high crimes and misdemeanors?"

Ah, but you have not answered my question, and I asked first.

What's your source for the claim that a House vote has to be held before an investigation can be held by subcommittee?[/quote]
