Letter to the editor: Impeachment hearings are a coup attempt

Tribune-Review
| Tuesday, December 3, 2019 10:00 a.m.

These impeachment hearings are basically the Democrats trying to damage a Republican presidential candidate who they say tried to get information on a Democratic presidential candidate for his vice presidential threat to cut off aid if Ukraine didn’t fire a prosecutor . Also, Joe Biden’s son got a board position for an industry he didn’t know jack about. (Could Biden throw his weight around without the consent of Barack Obama?)

The Democratic leader of these hearings seems to be making up judicial rules as he goes along and continually denies Trump his basic constitutional right to face his accuser. The whistleblower’s lawyers offer to only answer some questions and to do that in writing. Ha — Judge Judy would blow a gasket if a person in her court would only answer in writing.

This kangaroo court is out of hand. Our government is tripartite (executive, legislative, judicial). They are overstepping their power by trying to tell the executive what he may or may not do. They also are acting like the judicial has to stay on the sidelines throughout.

It looks like the judicial will sit on their butts and not act before the coup takes hold. Will they exist after the coup? Don’t they have a job to protect the Constitution? I recommend they act now or their credibility will sink to that of Congress.

Editor’s note: The right to face your accuser is guaranteed in a criminal trial by the Sixth Amendment. It does not apply to impeachment.
