I am an independent voter and I am about to blow a gasket

The First job of a member of Congress is to protect the Constitution. The evidence is clear and this is not a political question in my eyes . It's the duty of Congress, if not now then When? Dems should continue to pass legislation on prescription drugs health care etc... if they die in Senate not their fault. Make these 30 Republican Senators who are up for re-election in 2020 cast their vote on impeachment and then have to explain to their constituents their vote with this overwhelming evidence of obstruction of justice. Democrats, rather be strong and possibly wrong than weak and right. I believe you will to Strong and right when all is said and done. Don't let Trump say going into election there was no obstruction or they would of impeached. numbers are locked in 52% of Americans will not vote for Trump. Could you imagine if Trump won re-election and the Dems didn't impeach? Democrats will be known as cowards. One thing I can say about the Republican Party, they would of started impeachment months ago. Can you imagine if Obama did just half the things that Trump has said and done? Dems grow a set, do your job or you will be known as WEAK and not caring about the rule of law.

Allowing his obstructions is criminal. The house must act.

to impeach when the Congressional "head count" is there or is getting close-- and just wanting to do it NOW (start impeachment inquiries) because it is the RIGHT thing to do and we HAVE to stand up for the constitution. Mueller's appearance yesterday has increased my angst that we are not opting for the latter.

I understand that this is a high-risk proposition regardless, but I feel very uncomfortable with every day we wait.
