The unsparing anti-impeachment op-ed by the GOP’s Ken Buck betrays a clear disdain for the House Democrats’ efforts to impeach President Donald Trump. Buck believes that impeachment should only be used in exceptional cases, and this is not one of them. He describes the process as a “partisan gun to the head of the American people,” seeking to avoid accountability by the legislative branch. Buck further emphasizes the importance of constitutional order, and calls out what he perceives as an unconstitutional effort to overturn an election result. In his words, “Democrats are using impeachment as a political tool and a distraction from the real issues facing our nation, rather than as an instrument of constitutional order and justice.”
