Showing Original Post only (View all)Lindsey Graham Just Threatened To Impeach Trump [View all]
and Gorsuch agreed!
Graham had been asking Gorsuch about waterboarding...
Gorsuch had no problem interpreting the clear intent of the Senates language in this case. He immediately agreed that the existing laws forbid waterboarding in any form.
Graham was quick to use this opportunity to warn the President against any attempts at fulfilling this campaign promise:
In case President Trump is watching if you start waterboarding, you may be impeached.
Gorsuch immediately acknowledged as much, replying:
Senator, the impeachment power belongs to this body. He added, No man is above the law.
