The unsparing anti-impeachment op-ed by the GOP’s Ken Buck betrays the Republican Party’s desire to protect the President over any perceived concerns of the power of the office of the President. Buck asserts that Democrats are grasping at straws in pursuing his impeachment and that impeaching the president would cause greater strife within the nation. In the process, he belittles the President’s perceived political adversaries. Furthermore, Buck’s op-ed serves as a further reminder of the Republican Party’s backing of the President and their partisan stance on this issue, superseding any sense of law or justice.
