Ben Sasse is right: Deliberation died in Congress, and the truth went with her

That the sitting president of the United States talked to a foreign official about potential dirt on a political rival is shameful.

That the House of Representatives would move to impeach him, without confirmation that this conversation did indeed take place, is just as bad.

Both are examples of U.S. governing bodies shirking their constitutional duties for political ambition and gain. As such, both should be condemned. Sen. Ben Sasse, R-Nebraska, seems to be one of the only politicians willing to do so.

“There’s some really troubling things here,” he said after reading the whistleblower report. “Republicans ought not just circle the wagons, and Democrats ought not have been using words like impeachment before they knew anything about the actual substance.”

People need to realize that Trump isn't going to be impeached or exonerated in one day.  It takes some time for the facts to emerge.  No sense in painting oneself into a corner.
