SPRINGFIELD – Should the President be impeached? Should we just let the voters sort it out in 2020?
Don’t ask U. S. Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.)
“You’re asking me to prejudge this case, and I won’t do that,” Durbin told reporters in Springfield Friday. “I’m waiting on the House of Representatives to decide whether to issue articles of impeachment and then to read them very carefully against the evidence that’s been presented.”
Doesn’t everybody have an opinion on this? “Everyone has a feeling, but not everyone will serve on that jury. Senators, all 100 of us, will serve on that jury. I have the responsibility under the Constitution to be fair.”
Durbin did say he finds the testimony of the last two weeks “very sobering and very credible.”
Of the senators who served during the Clinton impeachment, Durbin is one of just twelve still in office.
