How do You View this Impeachment?

If you believe….

• the United States of America was established through racism
• the Constitution is a “living document” and originalism/textualism denies progress
• the bill of rights is subject to current day interpretation
• and that a new set of rights, (health care, guaranteed income, etc.) are needed

then you likely think this impeachment is a just cause.

If on the other hand you believe…

• the United States was established on freedoms that come from God and are manifest in human traits
• men (an all-encompassing term) are fallible and subject to err
• our Founders debated and understood exactly what they meant in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution and anticipated the failings of men
• in the limitations of government as delineated in the Constitution

then you likely think this impeachment effort subverts the Constitution and is an effort to overturn/influence an election.

The underlying philosophies are much more troubling than this episode impeachment. That we have so many that think our Constitution is just a piece of paper subject to interpretation using today’s news is downright scary. It is the binding force of our country and a standard to which free people everywhere look up. Denying its worth through debasement of one of its most dramatic planks, impeachment, should raise serious questions about how so many came to think this way.
