Unanimous Consent Request. I ask unanimous consent to enter my remarks in the record in opposition to this Sham Impeachment. Gentleman is recognized. At this time i yield four minutes to the gentle lady mrs. Cheney. Madam speaker, i rise today on the floor of this magnificent chamber, the very heart of our democratic republic, and i would imagine, madam speaker, that everyone one of us in this chamber regardless of party understands, shares a common view that being citizens of this Great Republic is among lifes most tremendous blessings. We all know that no force on earth is more powerful than the force of freedom. It is our miraculous constitutional system, madam speaker, defended by our Men And Women In Uniform that has
safeguarded that freedom for 230 years. Each one of us in this chamber bears a sacred duty passed down to us through generations and affirmed in our Oath Of Office to preserve and protect our constitution. Madam speaker, our nations framers recognized that this republ
I believe these documents are also of great importance to making sure senators have the information necessary to make a fully informed decision this terribly weighty decision. The house has built a very strong case against the president. Maybe thats why Leader Mcconnell doesnt seem to want witnesses, at least not agree to them now. Maybe thats why the president is afraid because the house case is so strong that they dont want witnesses that might corroborate it. The evidence the house put together includes public testimony given under oath by numerous senior officials appointed by President Trump. These are trump appointees were calling, not some partisan democrat but some republican senators have said that while the charges are serious, they
havent seen enough evidence to make a decision. Thats one of the reasons ive proposed subpoenas for these witnesses and documents all directly relevant from officials who have yet to testify under oath during any stage of the house process. Senato
Hunter biden behind closed doors. And so now the huge irony is that as the process moves to the senate, when republicans are going to control the entire process, theyre saying even though our argument was that we were cheated and this is unfair in the house, now that we control it, we dont want witnesses and we dont want a trial. Unbelievable. Thank you so much, heidi. Let me go back to garrett on the floor. Whats happening now . That measure did not succeed . Reporter it wont succeed. Were waiting on a few more votes to be cast. Im watching a couple more tick off the board. We expect this will probably be the last of the procedural hurdles at this phase of the game. We expect the next thing to happen will be the debate on the actual rules setting the terms of debate for the Articles Of Impeachment. This will look like an actual debate when it gets started. You will see members start to hash out not just the Process Arguments that you heard from heidi, but also democrats will
be making
unanimous, but it s a civil trial so the burden of proof, the prosecution has to prove it s likely that this happened, and that could be 51%. you don t have to have beyond a reasonable doubt. so you ve got a much lower standard even though you need unanimity. how significant would it be if the jury does find trump guilty? people don t necessarily realize that there is a lot of statistical evidence that shows that the american voters will respond very strongly if it is proven that he is guilty of sexual assault. so there was a quinnipiac poll in december of 2017, and it asked american voters if it was proven that he committed sexual harassment, do you think he should be removed from office. and 61% said yes for sexual harassment. this is sexual assault, and also that 61% in terms of it being proven in a court of law by unanimous jury. 61% is also higher than any single poll ever in the first two impeachments against him.
