Text of Rep. Green's resolution and why it was properly tabled

[onenote]

Lots of DUers are complaining about the Democrats not supporting Green's resolution. But it's pretty clear that those complaining haven't read the resolution.

Here's a link:https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/unfit-be-president-full-text-house-impeachment-resolution-trump-n1030611

As is clear, this was not a resolution to commence an impeachment inquiry. It was a resolution to adopt a single article of impeachment based on the broadly stated "high misdemeanor" of Trump being "unfit" with no mention of the Mueller investigation, obstruction of justice, etc. The only specific action referenced is Trump's tweets about "the Squad."

In short, it was a particularly ineffectual and, dare I say, stupid, resolution and it's actually a bit embarrassing to me that 95 Democrats would support it.

If we're going to do impeachment, it should be done right. Not via some half-baked resolution that doesn't even seek to start an inquiry but jumps straight to the adoption of a specific, toothless "article."

1. There are plenty other examples of why trump is unfit. Unless I'm surprised next week,

we need to forget about Mueller’s limted Report. Add obstruction to a long list of racist and destructive actions by trump, but it should not be the primary reason for proceeding with Impeachment.
