This week, and for the second time, the Senate acquitted former President Trump, finding him innocent of the trumped-up charge brought against him earlier this year by angry, liberal Democrats in the House of Representatives. The precedent that was set this week is deeply troubling and the optics for the rule of law are horrible. President Trump did not violate his oath of office and always acted to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. Furthermore, impeaching a President after he or she has left office is unconstitutional. The entire impeachment process was divisive, absurd, and illegal. Mr. Biden continues to say he wants unity, but actions speak louder than words. It is my sincere hope that Congress and the Administration turn its focus to the struggles currently facing the nation, including fighting the COVID-19 pandemic and strengthening our fragile economy. |
