There is no mistaking that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is trying to wrap the Democrat-led impeachment inquiry against President Donald Trump in the Constitution, but in reality she is undermining it.
During a joint news conference with House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff on Wednesday, Pelosi took it to the next level, saying "Constitution" dozens of times.
One of the more ironic and troubling instances came near the end of the 30-minute session when the speaker said, "We have to be worthy of the Constitution as we go forward. We have to be fair to the president, and that's why this is an inquiry and not an outright impeachment, and we have to give the president his chance to exonerate himself."
Do you think Pelosi and the Democrats are undermining the Constitution by trying to impeach Trump?
All the protections placed in the Constitution - including the Sixth Amendment's right to a "Public trial by jury by an impartial jury" and the opportunity "To be confronted with the witnesses against him" and to call witnesses in one's favor - are there to protect the presumption of innocence.
"Our Founders they put guardrails in the Constitution because they knew there might be someone who would overplay his or her power," Pelosi said.
I don't recall Pelosi and Schiff accusing Obama of undermining our nation's security, his oath of office and the Constitution then.
