The Will of the People?

As I listened to Republicans argue against impeachment, I heard a common refrain, that the Democrats were disregarding the will of the people. What people? Don't these guys read the newspapers or watch television. Poll after poll after poll has shown that the majority of Americans are in favor of impeachment.  Why isn't that the will of the people?  The Republicans keep talking about how the voters matter.  What about the Democrats who the voters voted into office a year ago to give the Democrats a majority in the House?  Wait a minute!  I get it.  It's only the will of Republicans, or rather, the will of Donald Trump supporters!  The rest of us don't matter!  It's the same reason that Mitch Mcconnell wouldn't allow a Supreme Court appointment vote with a year to go before an election, because he wanted to allow the will of the voters, but has said that if there is a Supreme Court opening this coming year, he'll push a vote through. How's that for the will of the voters?

For those Republicans who say that the voters will respond to this next November, I say, bring it on!  I think that's wonderful.  Instead of complaining about an illegal impeachment, which in fact is perfectly legal, I think they should just stick to the opinion that the voters will cast their vote next November.  I agree that the people who voted for Trump, and who will vote for Trump, couldn't care less about the behavior that got him impeached.  I disagree with them.  But if Trump gets reelected, then clearly an electoral majority (not a popular majority, which I can not imagine happening) doesn't care about his behavior.  That's why we elect Presidents every four years.  It's why we elect Congressmen every 2 years and Senators every six.  If we're in a never-ending battle between the Executive branch and the Legislative branch, that too will be the will of  the people.  Get over it, I would say to Republicans and Democrats alike who don't like it.  It's the United States of America, and it is our constitution. Like it or not, what we're dealing with today is exactly the will of the people!
