US House Judiciary Committee begins a marathon session ahead of voting on articles of impeachment against President Trump
Members of the committee arrive before a House Judiciary Committee markup of the articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump, Thursday, December 12, 2019, on Capitol Hill in Washington.
The top Republican, Doug Collins of Georgia, swiftly interjected that the proceedings are a "farce" and should be halted until their side is provided its own chance for a GOP hearing. The request was denied, with the chairman saying the process was in line with the impeachment hearings of Richard Nixon or Bill Clinton.
Both sides appealed to Americans' sense of history — Democrats describing a strong sense of duty to stop what one called the president’s "constitutional crime spree" and Republicans decrying the "hot garbage" impeachment and what it means for the future of the country. Jordan insisted Democrats are impeaching because "they don't like us" and read out a long list of Trump's accomplishments.
"When his time has passed, when his grip on our politics is gone, when our country returns, as surely it will, to calmer times and stronger leadership, history will look back on our actions here today," Nadler said. "How would you be remembered?"
