I believe that the President and Vice President may well have committed impeachable offenses. But with so many important issues facing this country and so much work to be done, I am concerned about the great deal of time multiple impeachment trials would take away from the Congress working on the problems of the country.
Translation: My getting re-elected is much more important than my loyalty to defend The Constitution.
I certainly do believe in holding this Administration accountable and upholding the Constitution and the rule of law. That’s why last year I called for the President to be censured for his authorization of the illegal wiretapping program.
Translation: I’m all for theatrics. Just don’t ask me to actually get something done.
From the comments:
When you say …” …But with so many important issues facing this country and so much work to be done … my answer is: There is no more important issue facing this country. None.
