Impeachment hearing: Nothing is more convincing than liberal professors yelling at you nypost.com By Eddie Scarry December 4, 2019 \| 1:59pm \| Updated December 4, 2019 \| 3:03pm If you loved the first round of impeachment hearings, do Democrats have a treat for you: Liberal college professors yelling! You wonder if House Democrats do not watch CNN or MSNBC. If voters wanted to watch a group of experts scream their disapproval of President Trump, they could just turn on cable news or go online to watch reruns of “Morning Joe” from any day in the past three years. Stanford law professor Pamela Karlan ruptured eardrums when she bellowed out her conclusion that in Trump’s dealing with Ukraine, the president had attempted to “strong-arm a foreign leader” and that his conduct was “a cardinal reason why the Constitution contains an impeachment power.” Karlan was the only woman on the stand, which naturally meant heavy praise from the national liberal media. Susan Glasser of The New Yorker tweeted that the professor was “quickly emerging as the star of today’s hearing on the constitutional basis for impeachment.” Quite the accomplishment, considering the Hollywood A-listers sitting next to her. Noah Feldman of Harvard at least had hair straight out of central casting. But his line readings sounded a bit rote. Like Karlan, he wasn’t there to offer staid legal context and analysis on the purpose and standard for impeachment. He was there to regurgitate the Democrats’ case. The president, he said, “abused his office by corruptly soliciting President Volodymyr Zelensky to announce investigations of his political rivals in order to gain personal advantage, including in the 2020 presidential election.” Put that on a bumper sticker and call it a day. Two were not enough, so Democrats invited University of North Carolina law professor Michael Gerhardt to serve as yet the third parrot, but with a jolt of caffeine. Trump’s actions with Ukraine, he said, “are worse than the misconduct of any prior president.” The “misconduct of any prior president” presumably includes President Richard Nixon lying about his knowledge of Watergate and President Bill Clinton lying under oath about an extramarital affair. And wait until he gets to the late 1800s. That was all apparently child’s play when compared to Trump’s concern about Ukraine’s actions in the 2016 election and his questions about Joe Biden. The sole voice of reason was provided by legal scholar and George Washington University professor Jonathan Turley, who took great liberty to criticize Trump and his posture toward Ukraine but who nonetheless said it didn’t rise to the level of impeachment. “I get it,” Turley said in his opening remarks. “You’re mad.” Eddie Scarry is an author and columnist at the Washington Examiner.
