Dear CV Friend,

If all goes according to plan....

House Democrats will vote to impeach President Trump later
tonight.

But the fact is, that's been the plan for the past three years.

CONSIDER THIS: Since President Trump took the oath of office,
House Democrats have introduced legislation to impeach President
Trump for colluding with Russia, for denigrating central American
countries, for conflicts of interest...and for criticizing NFL
players who kneel during the national anthem!

Earlier this year, Committee Chairman and Democratic Congressman
Jerry Nadler was overheard on an Amtrak train talking about
impeachment schemes. And this was 6 months before any claim of a
quid pro quo with Ukraine ever surfaced. It was only a matter of
time.

So what should Catholics think?

Impeachment is serious business. It involves accusing the
President of a "high crime" and then acting to overturn the
result of an election -- because allowing him to continue in
office poses too grave a threat. For this reason, impeachment
requires making a convincing public case, and backing it up with
facts.

On this score, Democrats have failed miserably.

Whether you are pro-Trump, anti-Trump, never-Trump, or just tired
of the hyper-partisan gamesmanship altogether, ripping apart the
country with a dubious impeachment effort 11 months from an
election is both unwarranted and dangerous. It will divide the
country further, inflame already-heightened political tensions,
and undermine the common good.

We need not detail the many ways this impeachment process has
been hamfisted and tainted from the start. From its spurious
origins, to its lack of transparency, its hyper-rushed and unfair
process, and finally its failure to provide proof of a single
crime, the whole thing leads to an obvious conclusion: this
impeachment effort represents an abuse of power, carried out for
political theater because of Democrats' deep hatred of President
Trump and his policies.

Is President Trump guiltless?

The President is not your typical politician. His style is
confrontational and abrasive. And depending on how you interpret
his call with Ukraine (which everyone can read), you could
certainly claim he mismanaged his desire to clean up widespread
corruption in Ukraine with the distribution of foreign aid.

But a high crime and misdemeanor? An "existential threat to the
Republic?"

As Joe Biden might say: "C'mon man!"

And don't forget the center of this controversy. Hunter Biden.
A shameless corporate grifter who leveraged his father's power as
Vice President to enrich himself. Is he immune from oversight?
Imagine if the tables were turned and Donald Trump Jr. were being
paid millions by shady foreign corporations. We know what would
happen.

The concept of impeaching a president was once considered a grave
matter. Before today, it's only happened twice in American
history (Nixon would have been impeached but he resigned before
it happened).

The use of the filibuster was once rare, too. Yet because of
Democratic hyper-partisanship, it's now commonplace in the
Senate. And now the danger of making the power of impeachment a
regular political tool has been unleashed. You can be sure, if a
Democrat is elected President in the future while Republicans
control Congress, he or she will face an impeachment vote.

Thankfully, this political charade will end soon.

Reports suggest Senator McConnell may move immediately to
fast-track an all-but-certain vote to acquit the President and
move on. We certainly hope so.

Furthermore, in the coming months the country will be offered a
Democratic alternative to President Trump.

And the American people will be offered a clear choice -- on the
issues that matter.

The truth is, in the end, that's what today's vote is all about:

November 2020.
