Time for Republicans to choose: the Constitution or Trump

Time for Republicans to choose: the Constitution or Trump 

There are some in the Republican Party who think that this impeachment was rushed. I tend to agree. There simply has not been time to follow the money in such a way that renegade members of the House and Senate can be cast as co-conspirators. This impeachment was done in the heat of the moment. 

To get the Senate to either vote Trump out or be seen as not doing so is the same kind of electoral show that Senator Schumer thought the first impeachment would be, what the Kavanaugh investigation would be, what voting on keeping the Bush tax cuts or immigration rules would be. None of these things brought about a Blue Wave. 

Real evidence of the total conspiracy, as well as other Trump and Giuliani treachery and its money trail need to be further explored for this issue to be ripe. The nation needs more than a point of view to convict Trump. It may not have to. When there is evidence and conviction of seditious conspiracy and receiving money from Russia, only a third of one chamber is necessary to bar Trump from holding office ever again, or any of his co-conspirators. 

It will take this type of evidence, as well as a total refutation of the GOP argument on abortion, to end Trumpism itself. More than an election, standing up for the unborn drove the justification for treachery. Getting Trump is the easy part. The rest takes patience and courage.
