When the U.S. House of Representatives voted 232 to 197 to impeach President Donald Trump for the second time Wednesday, 10 Republicans joined House Democrats to vote in favor. One of them was newly elected West Michigan Congressman Peter Meijer.
In an interview with Michigan Radio s
Morning Edition, Meijer (R-Grand Rapids) said his vote was a matter of facts. To put it simply, the article of impeachment that was presented before us was accurate. The president s conduct was disqualifying. And this is the strongest mechanism that Congress has in order to ensure that there is a check on the executive, he said.
Fr. Pip Martin in his Letter 11/12/20 advised he usually passes over the very frequent letters from Rob (Bob) Readman. I wonder is it because of, as he commented, Mr Readman’s partisanship including insults, in his letters on Brexit or perhaps like me, he believes Mr Readman has become increasingly tiresome with his one sided, he is always right, views? His latest December missives on democracy in the EU are yet again selective. He talks as if member states joined the EU with their eyes closed. No they did not. They decided via their elected and mandated Government and, in some cases via a referendum for the people, that the advantages outweigh any disadvantages.
