Adam Schiff's Closing Statement Day 4 Impeachment Hearings

One of many of Schiff's finest hours -- the democratic and constitutional reasoning behind why this impeachment is proceeding.

May Americans understand what's at stake for their nation.

Jim Himes (CN) NAILS the GOP's Traitor Politics.

First, Himes demolishes the use of "never Trumper," as he raises the president's witness namecalling/intimidation/tampering toward Jennifer Williams and Lt Col Vindman.

Most important, Jim Himes attacks the GOP's attacks on Vindman as "designs to question your loyalty."

Connecticut's Jim Himes:

It's the kind of thing you say when you defend the indefensible. It's the kind of thing you say when it's not enough to attack the media ... or the Democrats. It's what you stoop to when the indefensibility of your case requires that you attack a man who is wearing a Springfield rifle upon a field of blue above a purple heart ... "

Thom Hartmann's History of SCOTUS' Contribution to Corporatism's Eventual Betrayal of Democracy

Thom Hartmann's book (written in 2010, no less!) is Unequal Protection -- How Corporations Became 'People' -- and How You Can Fight Back, is the clearest, most understandable history I've ever read on the subject. It should be required reading for all vote-eligible Americans taught in every American History class in the country.



That Cenk Uygur appreciates Hartmann's history speaks well of him. And frankly, I've never thought well of Uygur.

With SCOTUS being part of the 2.5 branches that have been bought by domestic and international personal fictionhoods (who can donate in our presidential elections through dark money law), our half of the First Branch that now fights to keep a nation of laws, not of men, is the only thing that stands between us and the fascism that corporatists and their current WH tool will establish.

Hartmann: "The Founders would have impeached this guy, Trump, within seconds..."

Hartmann is correct: SCOTUS will be key in allowing an "emergency" and take us directly into corporate fascism.
