OPINION:
Most fair-minded Americans, whether Republican, Democrat or independent, were aware of and disturbed by the unfair, partisan impeachment process that denied the Republicans and President Donald Trump witnesses or documents. The thing most harmed, however, was our Constitution’s fundamentals of fair process, equal justice for all, and innocent until proven guilty. The House has attempted to have the legislative branch override the authority the president has under our Constitution.
The Democrats did not have proof for the two articles of impeachment they submitted, abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. In fact, the move is considered unconstitutional by many respected legal scholars.
The Senate should dismiss the two unsupported and unconstitutional impeachment articles and send a clear message that this type of partisan House action will never be allowed to occur again.
