Mitch McConnell: The case is not compelling not overwhelming and as a result not bipartisan the failure was made clear to everyone earlier this week when Senator Schumer began searching for ways the Senate could step out of our proper role and try to fix the House Democrats failures for them and it was made even more clear last night when speaker Pelosi suggested that House Democrats may be too afraid too afraid to even transmit their shoddy work product to the Senate. Mr.President, looks like the prosecutors are getting cold feet in front of the whether they even want to go to trial they said impeachment was so urgent that it could not even wait for due process but now they're content to sit on their hands..... this is really comical. Democrats own actions concede that their allegations are unproven the articles aren't just unproven they're also constitutionally incoherent.... incoherent! Frankly if either of these articles is blessed by the Senate we could easily see the impeachment of every future President of either party let me say that again if the Senate blesses this historically low bar we will invite the impeachment of every future President. The House Democrats allegations as presented are incompatible with our constitutional order they're unlike anything that has ever been seen in 230 years of this Republic. House Democrats want to create new rules for this president because they feel uniquely enraged but long after the partisan fever of this moment has broken the institutional damage will remain.
