EXCERPT:
SCHOEN: "It is tearing the country apart at a time when we don’t need anything like that. I think President Biden missed a great opportunity to be a statesman and to demand that this thing be called off, frankly. This is the political weaponization of the impeachment process. There was a rush to judgment. Listen, when President Trump became president, the day he was elected, there were calls for his impeachment already. This is the weapon they have tried to use against him. But now we know also that the agenda, Ms. Pelosi and others, is simply to bar President Trump from ever running for president again. And that is about as undemocratic as you can get. Can you imagine the slap in the face that is to the 75 million or more voters who voted for Donald Trump? And other supporters, even people who didn’t vote for him, support an open political process. Fair-minded people don’t support using the impeachment process to then try to bar someone from running for office again. But you are right also. There are many constitutional arguments against this. We don’t use our political preferences to tear down the Constitution."
