Democrats are slated to put the finishing touches on articles of impeachment Thursday, while fending off last-ditch efforts by Republicans to derail them before a final floor vote expected next week.The Judiciary Committee’s imminent approval of two articles of impeachment — one charging Trump with abuse of power, the other with obstructing congressional investigations — will mark just the fourth time in history the impeachment process has advanced this far.
But Nadler’s appeal isn’t likely to go anywhere. Republican leaders have been working intensely to prevent any of their rank-and-file colleagues from joining Democrats in favor of impeachment, and so far they’re confident they’ve succeeded. Democrats have framed the committee vote as an urgent and necessary decision to protect democracy from a president exhibiting autocratic tendencies and trying to warp the institutions of government to his own personal benefit. Republicans, though, say Democrats’ case is based on a thin record of evidence, as well as conjecture and hearsay, and that impeaching Trump would pave the way for partisan impeachments of future presidents.
