The democratic party with the leadership of their Speaker, Nancy Pelosi continue to pass vital legislation in the U.S. House and at the same time balance their responsibility to hold impeachment hearings concerning the behavior of President Donald Trump. The democratic controlled House has passed meaningful legislation, and so much more than the republican controlled U.S. Senate who are only concerned with confirming Trump's appointed judges to the federal bench.
The internet in fact carried a story last week noting how the U.S. House has produced much needed legislation only to see the republican controlled Senate let it lay dormant. Of course, the readers of PolitiDose knew that long ago because of its past commentary. Elizabeth Crisp, Washington journalist for the New Orleans Advocate expressed her Trump/republican party ditto head reporting in the Advocate of 11/27/19 titled, "Divided congress sees fewer bells pass." In the article Crisp used the talking points of Louisiana's Steve Scalise and Bill Cassidy to promote the republican agenda and tried to make it look like its the democrat's fault because Scalise and Cassidy's party are the do nothing party. Crisp failed to note that Trump and his party said they would take up gun legislation when they returned from their Labor Day break. Well they have been back over three months and have done nothing. But the House passed their gun legislation back in February and are still waiting for Trump and his party to act.
The impeachment process has produced witnesses who testified under oath about Trump's corruption and impeachable acts. Trump and his party can not find any witness to testify under oath to shake the damaging testimony. Trump will not testify under oath because he lies and as one of his attorney's was quoted as saying, if he testified under oath he would end up in an orange jump suit. Lets face it, the President is so corrupt and such a liar he can not even do a simple thing as release his tax returns like other Presidential candidates and Presidents do. Bill and Hillary Clinton have released over 40 years of their tax returns and have nothing to hide.
Trump and his party will continue to attak the impeachment process because they have nothing else. The people who ae close to Trump have been told not to testify by Trump himself and therefore Trump has no defense. Just his personal attacks, fake news and corrupt lies. Nancy Pelosi and the democrats will not be intimidated and will carry out their responsibility to the constitution and their oath of office to impeach America's corrupt President and his traitorous acts.
In the meantime, Nancy Pelosi's leadership and the democrats in congress will continue to lead and pass the legislation needed to move the country and its people forward.
