Well it started that way with Pelosi making like it was a great day by buying all the pens to sign. It should have been a glum day rather than one for grandstanding. In Nixon's, Clinton's, and Trump's cases it might have been the right thing to do but it should be treated as a sad day. JMOA word about civility and decorum. Yesterday, CJ Roberts came down on both sides about their decorum. Good for him. The “solemn” impeachment process has been marked with grandstanding, photo ops, incivility, and obstreperous conduct at every turn. Roberts won’t fix the antics of politicians, but if he can draw attention to this churlish behavior, more power to him.
I don't remember the details of Clinton's impeachment but I'd be willing to bet that the Rs treated it as a great day when they impeached him...... sad.
