right? because the impeachment process, inquiry & trial was all riding on Amash's vote. again, impeachment didn't seem to get in the way of the new NDAA, Patriot Act renewal, spending more ungodly amounts of money, droning in Iraq, etc, etc.Clearly. Probably why he voted in favor of a procedure that means nothing gets done for half the day...
LOL @ thinking nothing is getting done.
IMO, it IS taking a stand & goes against the popular opinion & numbers of both parties. Amash didn't leave the party over impeachment, he left because of the general direction the GOP was heading, I'm guessing impeachment being the final straw. he never once bowed to the pressure...It put him in a position where he never has to take a real stand against the popular opinion. All the pressure of being in a party is lifted from him. It takes a lot more fortitude to be Tulsi in the Democratic party than it does Justin Amash as an independant.
Tulsi should do the same but still believes in the Democratic party.
