Letter to the Editor: Impeachment Theatrics Are Nothing to Be Proud Of

Posted

Carolyn Long is the liberal Democrat candidate for Congress who said this week she’d have voted for the Soviet-style, partisan impeachment inquiry into President Trump. These closed door theatrics are nothing to be proud of, and they’re nothing like previous impeachments. 75 percent of the voting Members of Congress are not allowed in these hearings, despite having to eventually cast a vote. Adam Schiff can veto witnesses and unilaterally kick the legal counsel of the President out of the committee hearings, denying Trump due process. Shouldn’t due process mean something to a supposed “constitutional scholar” like Long? Being a rubber stamp for Pelosi’s political games isn’t what Southwest Washington wants, so it’s critical that we — yet again — say no to Long and re-elect Jaime Herrera Beutler.
