It's now an impeachable offense to rule against the slobfather

Republicans are dying to impeach lower court judges who have ruled against the Trump administration, an unprecedented attack on the judiciary. Meanwhile, over at the judiciary, Chief Justice John Roberts is utterly unable to meet the moment.

There’s a tiny problem with the Republican impeachment plan. Much like the president, federal judges can only be impeached for “treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.” It’s right there in Article II of the Constitution. But Rep. Brandon Gill of Texas, cares nothing for your silly constitution and wants to impeach Judge James Boasberg for the high crimes and misdemeanors of issuing a ruling the administration doesn’t like.

Gill is not a paragon of legislative accomplishment. Before coming to Congress this year, Gill was mostly known as an election denier and the son-in-law of fellow election denier Dinesh D’Souza. Gill has desperately tried to distinguish himself in the crowded field of GOP legislators willing to do unhinged things to get Trump’s attention. Hence, he introduced a bill that would remove Founding Father Benjamin Franklin from the $100 bill and replace it with President Donald Trump.

Too bad that Rep. Joe Wilson, famous for yelling “You lie!” at President Barack Obama during the State of the Union, already introduced a measure to create a new $250 bill and slap Trump’s face on that.

I'd like to slap Trump's face.

.. if the votes were kept anonymous and private. If the Senators and Congressmen were to be reassured of anonymity, it would be an easy task, even a no-brainer.

However both impeachment trials against Chump (first term) were restrained by Mitch McConnell's insistence that every vote would be published by name on the TV screens. Therefore almost every Repuke (excepting Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger and a few others) chickened out of voting against Chump.

They ALL KNEW he deserved to be removed from office, but very few had the guts to do it.

They can't do it and they know it. Just more sensational garbage to talk about. These media people need to go get their high school government textbook out and quit embarrassing themselves over what they do not know.
