We have a couple of nominees this time, who we tie together because of their methodology similarities. The first is Rep. Van Orden (R-WI), who has filed an impeachment motion … against a judge<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Impeaching Paul Engelmayer, judge of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, for high crimes and misdemeanors.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The second is Rep Eli Crane (R-AZ) doing the same thing … to the same judge<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cUsing the powers of his high office, Judge\u00a0Engelmayer<\/a>\u00a0interfered with the will of the people,\u201d Mr.\u00a0Crane\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0impeachment resolution stated. \u201cIn so doing, Judge\u00a0Engelmayer<\/a>\u00a0used the powers of his position to engage in actions that overstep his judicial authority. By making a political decision outside the scope of his legal duties, he compromised the impartiality of our judicial system.\u201d\u00a0<\/em>[The Washington Times<\/strong>]<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There are co-sponsors involved, but they were slow to the gate and are, therefore, excluded from the nomination. The decision of your celebrity judge is final, of course.<\/p>\n

Of course, this is wrong on more than one level. First, the notion that a judge slowing down radical, unheard of financial maneuvers by someone who has no qualifications – I speak of Mr Musk – to do the job is somehow an impeachable offense shows a lack of knowledge, or judgment, unacceptable in a member of Congress.<\/p>\n

Typically, judges are impeached for offensive behavior, although the real point of impeachment is to curtail damage caused by corruption.<\/p>\n

Second, the entire argument that the election result is a mandate is ridiculous. When your candidate gets less than 50% of the vote, it’s not a mandate – it’s a warning from the voters that both parties need to improve themselves.<\/p>\n

Third, President Trump’s ideal role in cleaning up overspending is minimal; that is actually the role of these two members of Congress, along with some 530+ other members, now isn’t it? The purse strings are in Congress’ many hands, not the President’s. Try being responsible members, eh?<\/p>\n

Another soap opera created by soap opera addicts. And it’s worth remembering that this judge was nominated by President Obama, and confirmed 98-0<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
