if the democrats had forced people to december file by going to subpoenas and having them challenged in the courts i don t think we would have having an impeachment in 2020. maybe 2021. wouldn t that be a good thing if the executive and legislative branch were decided in the appropriate way? do we want to tear up the separation of powers in order to get trump? congress has a right apart from any judicial decision to call witnesses and people to testify. people have the right to resist and you go to court to settle it. you say the president wanted to slow walk this. what are democrats doing except slow walking from steny hoyer to what nancy pelosi did. they re waiting until january 7th to take it up. that s slow walking. months if not years waiting on a court decision. jon: one democrat says democrats are talking too much about impeachment. listen to andrew yang on stage last night. if you turn on cable network news today you would think he
