I wasn\u2019t going to write anything today about politics because of how fast things are changing. Indeed, the situation continues to be so volatile that we really don\u2019t know with any certainty what is going to happen. This is new ground on which we have not tread before.<\/p>\n
As the news continues to break this day, January 13, 2021, the House of Representatives is preparing to vote on whether or not to impeach the president. Doing so is notable, as few presidents have ever been impeached, let alone impeached twice. Unfortunately, this unprecedented action reflects the indefensible actions that have characterized the increasingly unhinged president and his administration.<\/p>\n
What struck me this morning is the ongoing reaction of the president and his allies. The dropback position in face of the unparalleled convulsions facing the Republican Party is to blame the Democrats for the continuing trauma resulting from the Trump-sponsored assault on the nation\u2019s capitol on January 6th. Democrats and others are allegedly inflaming passions and creating unnecessary outrage by suggesting that the president and his immediate enablers be charged with sedition. Removal of the president by impeachment or enacting the 25th amendment is simply partisan and not necessary. Their call for calm and unity is hollow to a fault as well as dishonest.<\/p>\n
