CNN - Impeachment Inquiry "according to EVERY American?"
Impeachment inquiryTop Republicans are getting more aggressive in their pushback on the House impeachment proceedings. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham introduced a resolution that condemns the impeachment process and claims House Democrats are "denying President Trump basic fairness and due process accorded every American." The resolution also calls on the House to hold a vote to initiate a formal inquiry. Republicans this week have harped on what they see as an unnecessary level of opacity in the impeachment inquiry proceedings. House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff has said that his committee will release transcripts and hold public hearings, but for now, the fact-finding part of the investigation is being done behind closed doors, like a grand jury before a trial.
Democrat to Republicans storming the hearing: "Don’t you have any work to do today?
After a group of Republicans stormed the House room where Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense Laura Cooper was about to testify, Democratic Rep. Val Demings of Florida shouted back at them. She asked if they were trying to teach their children “that it’s OK to lie, steal and cheat so long as you don’t get caught?”
"You storm in here claiming to stand up for justice, but there are people in your districts suffering who you don’t even know their names" Demings said of the Republicans, according to a source. "There’s people dying every day of gun violence in your districts and you’re silent on that." Demings also asked a Republican member: “Don’t you have any work to do today?”

According to Lindsey Graham: House Democrats are "denying President Trump basic fairness and due process accorded every American."

And I only smoke after 5:00 PM. Also, I do not smoke marijuana every day. Sometimes I go a week without smoking weed. Later, I will explain the reasons that I want recreational Cannabis legalized in every state in the USA.
Thanks for the reply. I'm "calm" enough right now. But, although my recent replies with a critic, who called my OP silly, might make people think that I was upset, I calmly set them straight (to the (right.)
