Page:Impeachment of Donald J. Trump, President of the United States — Report of the Committee on the Judiciary, House of Representatives.pdf/357

 During the Judiciary Committee markup, a Democrat Congressman stated, "Freedom from oppression, freedom from tyranny, freedom from abuse of power, freedom is in our DNA." A wiser man, President Ronald Reagan, counterargued that "Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free." Democrats have tried to wrap themselves in the flag and say they are standing for the Constitution. But they are simply ignoring the clearly established facts and circumventing the rules to their advantage.

The American people see this process for what it is—a sham. This President, and all Americans deserve elected officials who have respect for their political will, for the foundations of our constitutional republic, and for the great responsibility that has been set before them. Democrats have damaged our representative republic with this impeachment. 8
