Today President Trump was impeached for the second time. While it is a relief since what he did was impeachable and very anti-democratic, it is also sad because the actions that led to the second impeachment happened in the first place. We still have to deal with the senate so this process is only in the middle but this is still a moment we can take a deep breath because one stage of the process is done.
I also have to acknowledge the 10 republicans who stood up and voted to impeach the president. Should it have been more? Yes. Does that mean it was not hard for these 10 to make the right choice? No.
I am not in a frame of mind to try to provide a lot of commentary about the history that occurred today in relation to the horrifying history that happened a week ago today (see my post from Monday) so this will be brief and I will simply leave you with the list of the 10 republicans who spoke their truth and said that our nation comes before party.
• Rep. Meijer (MI)
• Rep. Upton (MI)
• Rep. Cheney (WY)
• Rep. Katko (NY)
• Rep. Kinzinger (IL)
• Rep. Rice (SC)
• Rep. Herrera Beutler (WA)
• Rep. Newhouse (WA)
• Rep. Valadao (CA)
