This is a common sense thing for ohioans to say we own our constitution and it shouldnt be for sale to out of state special interests. So jake, this is also about more than Abortion Rights.

Outside money, jake, has been flooding in this summer. This has been a pretty short campaign. And more than 26 million has been coming in. Again, this is crossing more than just normal party lines. But democrats, if you look at it that way, are spending more on Television Ads than republican aligned groups. There has been an ad war in Television Campaigns as w
Robbery thats burglary, ill get it right. And in this situation youve got somebody really caught in the middle of it, and that doesnt excuse the person from the consequences.

So i would like to ask you some questions about obstruction of congress. Professor gerhardt, in your view, is there enough evidence here to charge President Trump with the high crime and misdemeanor of obstruction of congress . I think theres more than enough. As i mentioned in my statement, just to really underscore this, the third article of impeachment approved by the House Judiciary Committee against president nixon charged him with misconduct because he had failed to comply with four legislative subpoenas.

and unlike in 99, leader schumer, if it were to ever get to the senate, would dismiss there wouldn t even be a trial. he would dismiss the charges as robert byrd tried to do, the conscience of the senate. schumer would just dismiss the charges there would never be a trial. i still don t understand what the allegation is. the allegation is that the biden you hear all these republicans on fox talking about the biden crime family. yeah. i get the brothers and the son traffic on the family name, which unfortunately is unbelievably common in washington, d.c. well, you never hear about that in d.c. no one uses their family make, huh-uh. he would be the fourth president theoretically to be ard with high crimes and misdemeanors. this is after andrew johnson who violated the tenure of office act, bill clinton for lying under oa and perjury with monica lewinsky. and then for inciting the insurrection. mcconnell actually argued against impeaching biden. he said impeachment should be
