Quotes of the Day -- Second Impeachment Edition

"We call on the Senate to stand up for democracy and send a clear signal to all Americans that those who levy violence and sedition against our country will be held accountable," the bipartisan "Trump Is Not Above the Law" coalition said in a statement.

"We are an imperfect nation, but one that was founded on a clear set of democratic ideals that must be upheld," said the coalition, which includes Public Citizen, Stand Up America, Common Cause, and more than a dozen additional organizations.

According to the coalition, "The president of the United States incited a murderous insurrection, then used his bully pulpit to fan the flames of hatred."

Castor and Schoen must be the most incompetent legal representation of any modern President, incumbent or otherwise.

Quote of the Day -- On Insurrection. And Treason. And Traitors

Michael Beschloss     @BeschlossDC

January 6 should be an annual day of national remembrance from now on. Americans should never forget exactly how close our democracy came to being fractured and how zealously we must always work to protect it.

Thanks, Mr. Trump!

Thanks, Republicans!

Quote of the Day -- Justice/Impeachment Edition

Let's be clear on this impeachment of now former President Trump. This is from historian Michael Beschloss:

“This is the only president in American history who incited an insurrection against Congress that could have resulted in assassinations and hostage-taking and, conceivably, the cancellation of a free presidential election and the fracturing of a democracy, That’s a fact, and it won’t change in 50 years. It’s very hard to think of a scenario under which someone might imagine some wonderful thing that Donald Trump did that will outshine that. He did, literally, the worst thing that an American president could ever do.”

Oh, yeah. For the country. For the nation. For the people. For what's right. For our laws. For accountability. And so it's clear that this nor nothing like it ever, ever happens again.

Impeach.
