Of the judiciary committee does have the authority to essentially block more republican amendments. he can take that. but what we are hearing from our democratic sources, thats not what jerry nadler wants to do because that would spark republican protests. they would raise another process argument, contend that this was not a fair process. so what the democrats are doing saying, fine, offer as many amendments as you want, and we are going to just keep going. we are going to plow right through th...

Is up to us if we can stop him from using his office and abusing his power. >> so they have three pushbacks. i will do them in reverse order. one is, oh, hes not a continuing threat, you are the continuing threat because you hate him and you want to get him. thats their pushback to that. the second point of pushback is were not going to deal with the facts because there are no facts because this entire procedure has been a sham. and then they do have -- and those are political arguments that i t...

Documents. why? because the president doesnt want these documents to see the light of day. i ask for unanimous consent, chairman to enter these documents into the record. >> without objection. >> along with the article trump administration resists ukraine disclosures ordered by court. yield back. >> the time of the gentlelady has expired. what purpose does the ranking member, mr. collins seek recognition? >> move to strike the last word. >> gentleman is recognized. >> thank you. as were coming t...

And that has been argument. we have a process argument that goes the process argument has a lot to do with where were at right now. but the facts have been taken on and rebuffed every single hour of this day since 9:00. it is amazing to me also that the one thing my friend said as we look forward to this and going forward, it has to be said. this is basically the concerning part for many of us is this is a focus group impeachment. when he couldnt make as one of my colleagues mr. richmond said qu...

Jury, the senate acts like a trial. so the articles are the indictment. theres some evidence comes forward. the senate then will conduct the trial, look deeper into the evidence. i really think when you look at how they spelled out the articles against the president, pretty clear what the conduct is, and i think that, again, you can debate the constitutionality of it. i didnt hear much of that tonight in the judiciary committee. i mean, frankly, on one side of the building i thought was a little...

Ofulgs to interfere,ing they should be. i read his piece and what i agree with is the house acts like a grand jury and the senate acts like the trial. the senate will then conduct the trial to look deeper into the evidence. i think when you look at how theyve spelled out the articles against the president, pretty clear what the conduct is. and i think again you can debate the kaungszitutionalty of it. i didnt hear much of that tonight in the judiciary committee. frankly, on one side i thought wa...

That will be vulnerable. they think they can hide behind a process argument that i want the voters to decide and that somehow will-lessen the impact. he will maybe not be convicted in the senate, but there will be a bipartisan group of people to vote to convict him. it may not be a lot of republicans in the senate, but there will be some republicans that will vote to remove this president from office in january of 2020. >> it is a remarkable commentary on the partisanship, which again i dont thi...

Defense for donald trump for attempting to use tax dollars to bribe a foreign country that would give the rest of the trump inverse juicy content to use against joe biden if he happens to be the democratic nominee and that would get russia and trump off the hook in 2016 have stooped to whining. theyre only impeechling president trump because theyre whining. >> an interesting tactic that republicans are using, just in your reporting is that the plan that essentially with the administration saying...

In america. we allow voters to cast their ballots and count it up and hopefully the person who has more votes wins unless you have an electoral college. but i think that in terms of what were talking about now, the facts are not in dispute and the republicans are in a very difficult position, i argue, by going along with the presidents defense and not being able to at least put up some substantive defense to at least allow some in the american public to see this behavior as acceptable. this goes...

To equate that with obstruction of justice, frankly, is weak at best. and the argument that that really constitutes an impeachable offense becomes more of a process argument that doesnt go to the merits. notice also hear that you are so far away from talking about what i thought this was supposed to be about, which was efforts by the democrats to contend that this really was bribery. you dont hear bribery in either of those -- its extremely dangerous. read federalist 75. what hamilton says is th...
