1023: Wrong trial, wrong direction. @RichardAEpstein @HooverInst
Image: U. S. Senate Impeachment of the President. Admit the bearer. April 24th 1868. Gallery. [signed] Geo. T. Brown, Sergeant-at-Arms. Washington, D. C., 1868. Richard Epstein: @RichardAEpstein, Chicago Law, NYU Law, Hoover Defining Ideas, in re: An impeachment trial requires an enormous amount of preparation. Mrs Pelosi decided to run this thing through before giving anyone a chance to prepare. The dissidents need to have the same amount of time. Parity and confidentiality issues. The time of the speech didn't match the time of the violence; all sorts of problems to bring up. In the end, this will create an enormous amount of friction Biden’s speech repeatedly invoked unity. “Six hours in the Capitol? I’ll speak of sixty days of violence in Portland.” Pelosi did threaten Pence. At the end of the ninth century, a pope wanted to dig up a previous pope, condemn him. (St Stephen then performed miracles after he was re-drowned.)
