Absolutely correct in your reporting of what occurred during both the nixon and clinton impeachment, but i wanted to address the issue from a slightly different point of view. not only has president trump refused to provide information that he should have provided, he didnt assert a privilege. he just said, no. i actually have just reread the letter from mr. cipollini, the presidents lawyer dated october 8th, 2019. its page after page after page of complaining about how the house is proceeding. ...

Thats the answer. put it in appropriate context and acknowledge this is an issue. i yield. >> talking about the 1993 judge -- >> i remind gentleman from the constitutional scholars on both sides of the arguments its my time. >> im sorry. im sorry, fair enough. >> we -- >> mr. raskin, were done listening. yield back. >> gentleman yields back. for what purposes do you seek recognition? >> moosh to strike the last word. >> recognized. >> you know, lets go back. as has been stated today the constitu...

What article two says is, were not willing to go to court. well take the law into our own hands. these are the same people who tell us that no one is above the law, of course, except for themselves. what theyre saying is, congress alone will decide the limits of our own power. this is the essence of despotism. the reason why we separate powers of government is so one branch alone cannot unilaterally define its own power, yet this is the power that the democrats are now arrogating to themselves. ...

>> i enjoyed listening to you, you are absolutely correct in your reporting of what occurred during both the nixon and clinton impeachment. but i wanted to address the issue from a slightly different point of view, not only as president trump refused to provide information that he should have provided, he didnt assert a privilege. he just said no. i actually have just reread the letter from mr. sibley d, the presidents lawyer, dated october 18, 2019. its page after page after page of complaining...

So we will, if we are going to side supreme court cases lets put it in the appropriate context and lets acknowledge that this is an issue. i yield to come in 20 seconds. >> thank you. im talking about the judge nixon case -- >> on both sides of this argument, its my time. >> im sorry, i yelled back. fair enough. >> no, you are done with this, i yield back. >> the gentleman yields back. >> i move to strike the last word. >> the gentle lady is recognized. >> lets go back. the constitution devotes ...

Soul, not shared. not shared with the judiciary or shared with the executive. that means that we have the sole opportunity and obligation frankly to determine what evidence is necessary for impeachment. not shared with the executive. think back. judiciary chairman peter rodino warned president nixon about his failure to comply with subpoenas issued in the watergate impeachment inquiry. under the constitution it is not within the power of the president to conduct an inquiry into his own impeachme...

The democrats arent willing to go to the course. what article two is says is, we are not willing to go to court. we will take the law into our own hands and these are the same people that tells us no one is above the law of course, except for themselves. what they are saying is congress alone will decide the limits of our own power. this is the essence of despotism. the reason why we separate powers of government so that one branch alone cannot unilaterally define its own power. and yet, this is...

Point that mr. deutsch is making here. article one of the constitution, that gives representatives the sole power of impeachment. that gives the senate the sole power of trial. united states versus nixon, the supreme court emphasized that the rules and procedures are completely within the power of the house and the senate and cannot be second-guessed by the courts. in terms of general congressional oversight the gentleman is perfectly correct. the the supreme court emphasized that the fact-findi...

Definitively destroys insinuations that president president chose the delay for corrupt purposes. it was lawfully delayed and lawfully delivered and that means this entire process has been a sham. but that, i will address a couple of issues that i heard. i heard one of my colleagues on the other side say, not too long ago, president should come in and prove his own incense. take a look at what that does, come in and prove your own innocence. first of all thats antithetical to the anglo-american ...

Do not let the other side who has such talented constitutional attorneys over there distract you. this is not an ordinary dispute, its a very rare, thankfully, very rare dispute. its not an ordinary dispute where you go to the court. we dont need permission to go -- to use our constitutional rules. if president trump is allowed to refuse to comply with requests for information it would got the house impeachment power and undermine our bedrock principle of separation of powers. last night as we l...
