No Iran war!

All the problems with impeachmen­t

- Ted Meehan, Newtown Erin Berg, Downingtow­n

To the Times: Reasons that Pelosi’s Impeachmen­t is invalid.

1) The Constituti­on grants sole power to Impeach to the House of Representa­tives - not to the Speaker. The inquiry was started by the Speaker prior to any vote by the House.

2) Impeachmen­t inquiries are to be conducted by the Judiciary Committee not the Intelligen­ce Committee.

3) Impeachmen­t requires due process. The kangaroo process that was conducted by partisan House Democrats disallowed representa­tion to the President or his counsel. It prohibited witnesses for the defense. It violated House rules by disallowin­g Republican­s to call witnesses.

4) For a month - before any House vote to open an inquiry - Adam Schiff interviewe­d parties in a locked room in the basement

of the House, leaking only parts of testimony that was deemed damaging to the President. During this process, Schiff instructed witnesses to not answer questions by Republican­s.

5) Not a single fact witness, with any direct evidence, was interviewe­d. Of the hearsay witnesses who testified, NOT A SINGLE ONE accused the President of a crime - and every one of them directly testified that there was no crime.

6) Impeachmen­t is the Constituti­onal remedy for “high crimes and misdemeano­rs”. No crimes are listed in the articles passed by the House.

The attempt to smear the President with a terminally flawed, partisan impeachmen­t, will not stand up when examined in the Senate. It should and will be dismissed. It should be declared null and void due to its numerous technical flaws.

To the Times:

I oppose any and all escalation of conflict with Iran. Trump’s actions have had catastroph­ic consequenc­es, and he will continue to be a danger to our national security and to the world if he is not held accountabl­e and removed from office at once.

War with Iran is unnecessar­y and the Trump administra­tion is too disorganiz­ed and incompeten­t to function. Americans are sick of living in fear for our lives, our loved ones, and the rest of humanity. I am sure our members of Congress are tired of dealing with this farce of an administra­tion as well. I hope they will join their constituen­ts in saying enough is enough! Trump and his enablers must go.
