Speaker Pelosi – Cautious, Procedural, Deliberate. Pres. Trump – Lawless, Reckless, Disdainful. Inevitable End Result – Impeachment.
Six Days ago, I posted that Impeachment loomed; turns out …
Finally, here we are. Speaker of the House of Representatives,
(3rd in line of succession), has finally caved to the momentous pressure
for formal Impeachment proceedings in the House. She has been patient,
deliberate and determined in maintaining a cautious stance toward Impeachment,
but now, enough is enough.
Readers who follow this blog know I’ve called for
Impeachment since January of 2017. Perhaps
too soon for most Americans but, I believe, credible nonetheless. Now, in plain
sight, Pres. Trump has betrayed this nation in an intolerable manner and Speaker
Pelosi has finally had enough.
Anyone paying any attention to my meanderings knows that I
favor Democrats, and am somewhat Left-leaning, (Pardon me). That said, I strive
for objectivity in my presentation here, (Frequently unsuccessfully). As you
can imagine, Ms. Pelosi’s hesitation has been personally aggravating. However,
one must acknowledge and accept Speaker Pelosi’s delay as her right.
Nancy Pelosi has had her own legitimate concerns in her
cautious approach in initiating Impeachment proceedings, maddening as they may
be. I’m somewhat of a lukewarm supporter, of the Speaker. In some instances I believe
her to be too liberal, and in others, not liberal enough. So be it. Her
hesitant, cautious, maddening restraint is born of experienced deliberation.
Ms. Pelosi, 79, has been a Member of Congress for over 30
Years. She was present in Congress for
the 3 Month Impeachment Proceedings of Pres. Bill Clinton. She was witness to
that experience, and that and other Congressional experience contribute to her
cautious proceeding, as maddening as it may be to some of us. She’s no kid, and
this ain’t her first rodeo.
Now though, Mr. Trump has gone too far. His lawless reckless
abandon has generated enough revulsion that even hesitant, cautious observers
have been compelled to drastic reaction. Seven Members of Congress, from
Trump-leaning Districts and a lot to lose, publicly called for Impeachment
proceedings.
These Members have in
common, years of dedicated patriotic service to the United States. They have
served in U.S. Intelligence and Combat Service. Collectively, having put All on
the line to Protect, Defend, and Serve the Constitution, were compelled to
action, in opposition to a President operating in direct defiance of such noble
principals.
While Ukrainian Soldiers, (U.S. Allies, by the way), are
fighting and dying in repelling a Russian Invasion, Pres. Trump sought to
leverage U.S. Support to his own Political advantage. Enough.
