Today, the public-facing portion of House Democrats’ impeachment inquiry witch hunt shifted from Rep. Adam Schiff’s (D-CA) Intelligence Committee to Rep. Jerrold Nadler’s (D-NY) Judiciary Committee. The law school professor witnesses, We the People were reliably informed beforehand, would be testifying about whether or not President Donald Trump’s conduct on the now-infamous July 25th phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky amounted to an impeachable offense. The three law school professors range from the outright leftist (Pamela Karlan and Noah Feldman) to the merely liberal/civil libertarian-leaning (Jonathan Turley).

It is not even remotely obvious why such a hearing is necessary or even helpful. On the contrary, the hearing is actually a monumental waste of time.
