The Pace Argument. The pace of impeachment proceedings INHERENTLY respects the process.

Impeachment Proceedings get ALL the content in a timely way. The hard way would take until Nov, 2020 to get -- even if they ignored Trump's game to stall them, the public wouldn't ignore him or the time Democrats have taken to slog through to get that content. In the public eye,

Impeachment Proceedings immediately help the public to easily see ALL the evidence, testimony, AND uncovered crimes as accounted for. Impeachment Proceedings' faster pace brings to light -- due to the very jurisdictional power inherent in impeachment proceedings -- CONTENT that in no way compromises the public's understanding of the *case building* that gets done before their eyes.

The pace of Impeachment Proceedings -- instead of what it looks like we're headed for -- would be gratifying for *both* parties' voters to see, and would show the good governance that Democratic leadership wants to be known for.

Again, proceeding the hard way, would make viewer/voters turn off such proceedings the way they do CSPAN. And likely cause them to doubt that Democrats can't govern the way they've led the public to believe they can.

It's about time,
the use of taxpayer dollars,
timely results that justice can be done, fairly, accurately and well.

I predict that voters will appreciate how Impeachment Proceedings will help them make more informed, less confused, better presidential voting decisions. The hard way, outside of Impeachment Proceedings, won't.

Polling during the Impeachment Proceedings process -- if begun fairly soon -- will bear this out.

If I'm wrong I'll buy you dinner, anywhere, time and place. No matter where you live. And you won't even have to put up with my presence.
