Rashida Tlaib's First Day in Congress: ‘We're Gonna Impeach the....
2019-01-04
[Breitbart] In a brief written for her hometown newspaper that was published on Thursday, the same day America’s first Palestinian-American congresswoman will swear her oath to America using a 1734 English translation of the Quran that belonged to Thomas Jefferson, Tlaib says it is time to begin checking and balancing the president.

"We must rise to defend our Constitution, to defend our democracy, and to defend that bedrock principle that no one is above the law, not even the President of the United States," argued Tlaib. "Each passing day brings more pain for the people most directly hurt by this president, and these are days we simply cannot get back. The time for impeachment proceedings is now."

John Bonifaz, the co-founder and president of the advocacy group Free Speech For People, joined Tlaib in composing the piece. Bonifaz is well-known for co-authoring The Constitution Demands It: The Case for the Impeachment of Donald Trump.

In the Detroit Free Press article, both Tlaib and Bonifaz argued that members of Congress "do not need to wait" until Mueller’s investigation is complete before attempting to impeach the president:

#4  As someone else noted here before, Jefferson wanted to read the Koran to understand and defend against the Barbary Pirates. Whom we later fought and vanquished
