Liberal law professor Jonathan Turley on Saturday issued a warning about Democrats' long-term damage to the Constitution should they continue to press forward with their plans to impeach President Donald Trump (yet again) as his administration comes to a close. "In seeking his removal for 'incitement,' Democrats would gut not only the impeachment standard but free speech, all in a mad rush to remove Trump just days before the end of his term," Turley wrote in an opinion piece for The Hill.Although the law professor took issue with Trump's speech before supporters, as well as Republicans objections

You're right, Jonathan. But the Democrats don't care what you or any of us believers in the First Amendment (indeed, the entire Constitution) think. They now have the power to do anything they want. Who's going to stop them. The courts? What a laugh. This is going to get a whole lot worse, real soon.

They impeached, but did not remove Trump, the first time, for NOTHING he did, for no reason, absolutely ZERO, other than HATRED. This will be the second time for the same reason, HATRED and made up nonsense. Trump NEVER called for violence, period. I have read his statement.

The problem, dear professor, is that the left doesn’t give a rat’s arse about the Constitution. I wouldn’t put it past them to storm the National Archives and destroy the very document.

Oh come on Turley.... they spied on Trump, impeached him for a phone call, spent 40 million for a fake Mueller investigation, stole 2 elections, went after his family, 1000000% negative news coverage, blocked him on Twitter & Facebook, received over 70 million votes, blame him for a riot, JD lied on court docs, gave him H for his SC selections., his own party went against him when the election was stolen, ....any other man would have given up years ago. Give Trump some credit. Trump is amazing. Turley if you really think democrats care what you say or think you are out of touch. They have no conscience.

I agree with that statement, #5. Turley “kind of” likes the truth. I am bored listening to these intellectuals blathering and giving a bone to each side. They are as bad as politicians looking to keep their bread buttered by the D.C. establishment. Grow a pair, Mr. Turley, and at least come down on one side or the other.

The Deep State, in league with the Chi-Coms, have committed high treason.

The Dems are not listening. They are fully intent on wrecking themselves. They want BLOOD. They want to see Trump permanently disenfranchised: banned from any speech, banned from office, exiled. They would execute him if they could.

Turley really has no idea what he has created, does he? Did he really not understand that the decades of liberal corrosion of all things Constitutional would lead to this? He wasn't alarmed when Al Franken stole a senate seat and enabled the forced destruction of America's health care system, because he liked the end result. He certainly didn't care about the 'average' American who might have been devastated by absurd medical coverage payments and loss of their job because liberals like him thought moving dirty jobs or factory jobs to China was a good thing. When odd men wanted extra special treatment as fake women, he thought that was enlightened.
I only hope his horror grows as he watches the leftist beasts run amuck. Johnny, you have no one to blame, but yourself for what is coming and trust me, after they are done with us, they will come for you.

The real reason that Pelosi and the House Democrats now want to impeach and remove Trump from office is to render him ineligible to again run for President in 2024. Common sense will tell you that is a serious misuse of the impeachment provisions of the US Constitution.
Presidents are supposed to be subject to impeachment, after they are proven to have already committed an impeachable offense after a comprehensive and legitimate investigation, and not as a politically based partisan prior restraint to disqualify them from running for office again in the future. Since Trump has only about 10 days remaining on his term and has committed to an orderly transfer of power on January 20th. the Democrats pushing to impeach Trump is an expensive waste of time and taxpayer’s money when the House Democrats should be working on much more effective legislation that would benefit the American people. Going forward such a unnecessary impeachment effort the Democrats are not healing the country but are opening the political divide further.

In my humble opinion, here is where they are going:
My understanding is that prior Presidents retain access to some National Security info. They will use what has gone on to prevent him from being updated with these briefings. It will eliminate any info with regard to China and their maneuverings, in conjunction with any of Biden's complicity, as well as their dealings with Iran.
Not being able to run in 2020 is a bonus! They're more concerned about the present.
In fairness, I don't know why President Trump would want to run again, except for WTP. The damage will be so much more extensive, it will be irreparable and he will once again be blamed. He gave us all he had, and we gave him all we had. It wasn't enough to overcome the corruption.
