An Abolition of Due Process: Looks Like an Inquisition – by Jim Bratten

Jim Bratten

According to Democrats and their media comrades, the now infamous “Ukraine Call” has generated a constitutional crisis. They say that the only solution to the phone call that is “destroying our democracy” is the immediate impeachment of President Donald Trump.

Survival of our nation depends on impeaching Trump for obstructing justice they cry – but no court is involved for the “justice” part. They say Trump is withholding details of a phone call, even though the transcript of that call was released by the president and made public. (Of no interest to Democrats is that their “whistleblowers” were rendered irrelevant as soon as the transcript of the Ukraine Call was released and made public. Case closed.)

Meanwhile, to spread the illusion that Trump committed a new “impeachable offense,” the Democrats’ Propaganda Press took charge. Repeated emphatically on show after show in cable media, over and over, was the false claim, “constitutional crisis,” even though the mindless pundits don’t know what actually determines a constitutional crisis. The paid thugs of the Democrat Party took to the streets for emphasis, demanding “Congress do your constitutional duty!” (impeach a president for an imaginary offense) as they committed public disorder violence in city after city, preferably at Trump rallies.

Democrats are choreographing an impeachment farce; an orchestrated hit-job devoid of the force of law. An official vote of the entire House, to proceed with an impeachment inquiry, has not been called. Pelosi’s fake impeachment scam doesn’t even reside in the proper committee, the House Judiciary Committee. Instead, Pelosi placed it in the House Intelligence Committee, under Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA). (Intelligence matters must be conducted behind closed doors, away from public scrutiny, in secret.) This procedure has never been done before.

One House committee does not constitute a branch of government; therefore it cannot force another branch (the executive) to bend to its will. Congress, the entire Congress as a body, must vote for impeachment to proceed. But Speaker Pelosi didn’t want House Democrats exposed to publicity by a formal (official) vote for an impeachment inquiry, since many of them won their seats in the 2018 midterm election in districts that Trump won in 2016.

Until Donald Trump, impeachment proceedings in the House were bipartisan. Both political parties could call witnesses, issue subpoenas, accept voluntary testimony, etc. Under Speaker Nancy Pelosi, no longer; her impeachment farce is not just an embarrassment, but a disgrace.

Trump’s attorneys have composed an eight-page letter to Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House committee chairmen, explaining in simple terms why the White House will not cooperate with another farcical political witch hunt, nor comply with an unofficial faux impeachment attempt.

However, Donald Trump has been deemed a heretic. He is not a believer in the “faith” of central government Statism. He despises the carefully constructed status quo of our federal government, built over many decades to guarantee the “anointed” permanent places in the DC Swamp and establish an organized line of succession. This is no impeachment – it’s an inquisition.

President Trump is completely correct in refusing to be a target, one who isn’t allowed a defense or due process. House Republicans are not allowed to subpoena witnesses against the phony charges leveled against the president. In fact, in this farce, no impeachable charges have even been brought forth.

Trump wants to topple this edifice of artifice and root out the massive corruption. If this were the Inquisition, there would be attempts to burn him at the stake. But I suspect the Democrats’ fascist thugs in Antifa have already thought of that.
