For several weeks now, my Democratic colleagues in the House of Representatives have tried to validate their tactics on impeachment by touting the talking point, “No one is above the law, not even our president.” However, they conveniently fail to recognize that no one is below the law, either. In fact, these self-proclaimed champions of equality have forgotten a key value woven into our Constitution — we are all equal in the eyes of the law.

About a month ago, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi announced that six House committees would be given the authority to conduct an impeachment investigation based on shaky accusations against President Trump. In her speech, the California Democrat claimed the president betrayed his oath of office, our national security, and the integrity of our elections. Yet, today she insists the House vote on “formalizing” the impeachment investigation through a resolution that commits the very same sins of which she accuses the president. The resolution is nothing but an admission of guilt to violating the House rules and a concession that the Democratic Party is only interested in a partisan process.
