The constitution, the 14th and 5th amendments specifically state Americans guaranteed judicial rights. They are called Due Process.
The right to present evidence, including the right to call witnesses
The right to know the opposing evidence (disclosure)
The right to cross-examine adverse witnesses
The right to a decision based solely on the evidence and testimony presented
The following article explains those rights: https://www.thoughtco.com/due-process-of-law-in-the-us-constitution-4120210
That is reason number 1.
Reason number 2.:
Every soldier in our defense forces takes the following oath:
“I, (name of enlistee), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. (So help me God)." Adopted in 1789
In defending that oath, approximately 1.6 million soldiers died in defense of the constitution in our history: 420,000 in WWII, 116,000 in WWI, 58,000 in Viet Nam, and millions more injured. Today our Veterans hospitals are literally overloaded with hundreds of thousands of veterans getting treatment for their war injuries. In fact, we have veterans so badly wounded, they must live at our VA hospitals. As a veteran who was employed in one of the largest VA hospitals in the USA, I will recall one:
In the 80s I saw him many times at Hines VA hospital. He had no body from the lower waist down. To get around in the VA, he laid on his stomach on a gurney and pushed against the floor with two canes.
Another soldier, I will always remember, died in Nam, took a bullet right to the head and blew a 5 inch clean hole clean right through his face. These are just two real accounts of American soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice for all Americans, for Pelosi, for Bill Maher, for Schiff, for you and me.
For the above reasons, I find it unconscionable for any politician to dishonor and disrespect the sacrifice of our brave soldiers, and the constitution as the House of Representatives just did. I don’t give a flying leap who the President is. You don’t dishonor our American soldiers because you hate the President of the USA. You respect the constitution and comply with it as all patriotic Americans must if we are to have one civilized country."
