permafrost: And when is "Napy" an authority on anything other than his "liberal view" about most
everything? I notice he must have a contract with Fox as they get him "on" real early. He has "black-balled"
Trump from Day 1. I would not say he was an authority on much of anything, or he would be with
Hannity, Nunes and the other 1st Team players...As Obama would say...he is a "JV"....Junior Varsity and
not a real good one at that. We'll see..they all like the lime light whenever they can get it. He isn't just
first team in my opinion and I'm not the only one.

Louie, are you telling me that the chief Justice of the SC is part of the Senate?? Please explain that one for me..

I agree and have said in the past that kids should not be any part of insults to presidents ETC.. However, referring to Baron name is hardly any insult to the kid..

The experts, all 4, called in for testimony all have great credentials and 3 to 1 agreed that the process is going as per rules..

The whole world disdains the orange POS sitting in the oval office. except for the 38% of american voters who will support him even as he steals their own hard earned money and future..

No Democrat president has done the solicitation for help that trump has, so we will never know what I may or may not have said..

rules change in 2015..

As the impeachment inquiry into Donald Trump uncovers more and more evidence of possible wrongdoing, House Republicans have increasingly focused their argument on complaining about the process.

Earlier this month, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy demanded inquiry proceedings be stopped unless the minority got the power to subpoena witnesses. On Wednesday, Minority Whip Steve Scalise, and others even likened the secure, closed-door investigation into sensitive foreign policy matters to something out of the Soviet Union. That same day, a group of angry House Republicans barged into the secure facility and effectively halted hearings for several hours, complaining about transparency.

But if they find the process unfair, they have only themselves to blame. The House rules that govern this process were adopted in 2015, by the then-Republican majority. And the same Republican leaders leading this criticism helped establish those majority-centric rules at that time.

But while minority-party members once had significant say in who was subpoenaed, a major 2015 rule change rammed through by the Republican majority stripped them of this power. The majority leader at that time was McCarthy himself.

On Wednesday, Scalise took part in a press conference organized by Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) to demand that the secure hearings be more "transparent."

Obviously any actual impeachment vote would be done in public, should the majority decide to charge him with "high crimes and misdemeanors." Under the Constitution, that would trigger a trial in the GOP-controlled Senate, where a two-thirds super-majority would be required to remove Trump from office.

But the House rules, which McCarthy and Scalise helped enact, also allow this fact-finding portion of the impeachment inquiry to be done in private, by the relevant committees. Indeed many of the House Republicans protesting the lack of "transparency" of the secure hearings are allowed to attend them and have been participating.

On Thursday, Fox News' senior judicial analyst Andrew Napolitano surprised his colleagues by noting that he had actually read the House rules and discovered that the Democrats were following them.

"As frustrating as it may be to have these hearings going on behind closed doors, the hearings over which Congressman [Adam] Schiff [D-CA] is presiding, they are consistent with the rules," he noted.
