Graham: Republicans supporting Trump impeachment damaging GOP

Graham, who has been aligned closely with President Trump for most of the past four years, said the mob that stormed the Capitol last week should be held accountable, but that Republicans should not support impeachment. “To my Republican colleagues who legitimize this process, you are doing great damage not only to the country, the future of the presidency, but also to the party. . The individuals who participated in the storming of the Capitol should be met with the full force of the law. They should and will be held accountable, Graham said in the statement. ADVERTISEMENT In addition to releasing a public statement, Graham has been privately calling his colleagues for several days urging them to oppose convicting Trump as part of the Senate trial, a spokesperson confirmed to The Hill.

We can achieve our democratic ideals now by passing the For the People Act

© Getty Images It has been the highest honor of my life serving New Mexico and our country in Congress, and leaving the Senate in January will be bittersweet. I look back on my time in the Senate and House enormously proud of what we’ve accomplished together. Even in a divided Congress, we enacted the most significant environmental reform law in a generation. When I authored The Frank Lautenberg Chemical Safety Act, I worked hard to gain bipartisan support, but knew it would be a difficult task to pass the legislation in the Senate. But we passed it unanimously and because of our hard work and collaboration, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency finally has the powers to protect our communities and environment from toxic chemicals like asbestos.

McConnell and Schumer need to make the most of this moment

© Greg Nash Senate Majority Leader McConnell (R-Ky.) and Democratic Leader Schumer (D-N.Y.) need to act together right now for the good of their institution and for the future of the nation. The two pending runoff elections in Georgia provide a unique opportunity to maintain the useful legislative filibuster, but to reform it by eliminating its abuses and excesses. The 60-vote requirement to invoke cloture and end debate fosters negotiation and bipartisan compromise the twin pillars of the Senate’s unique protection of minority rights to debate and amend. Both would be lost without the legislative filibuster. ADVERTISEMENT During this period of our recent history when political divisions seem so much deeper and partisanship so often bitter, the filibuster’s ability to force the majority party to reach across the aisle is particularly critical and should also be recognized as an important value in a democratic society as diverse as ours.
