The Ego of Impeachment

[Rev. Rye]

I'm not interested in a government that ignores the law in favor of actions based on political point values. If the president does something illegal, you're supposed to impeach him.

Regardless of whether or not the Republicans are likely to actually do the right thing, impeachment is necessary, because with a President like this, one who blatantly flouts the law and basic human decency, we’re going to have to draw a line in the sand somewhere. Do we want a President who gives a shit about the law and the people he rules, or do we want someone who does whatever the fuck they want regardless of the consequences?

To quote Huey Freeman, in a very different context, “what happened to standards? What happened to bare minimums? [...] Act like you’ve got some goddamn sense, people!” I’d play the full clip, but given that A) it’s a rant about R. Kelly and his jackasstic stans who want to acquit him despite blatantly pissing on 14-year-old girls, so it might not quite be relevant and B) well, given the nature of the show, there’s a couple N-bombs (delivered by Huey in this case), I’m not sure how well it would fly here.
