CBS All Access series “The Good Fight” a continuation of the series “The Good Wife” has been known to take on some pretty touchy subjects, whether it is police violence, misogyny, neo nazism, or any issue that rips through the headlines.
This week, however, they took on a unique topic, the impeachment of Donald J Trump.
And after an episode that followed through the possibilities, they capped it all off with this must watch video by Jonathan Coulton which sums up the situation:
the people made you the president
you get your power from our consent
it is not just a figure of speech
if you do something you shouldn't do
the constitution will deal with you
congress has the power to impeach
Republicans, Democrats, and inbetweeners
no one likes high crimes and misdemeanors
your tiny hands wills scratch and claw
but nobody is above the law
Andrew Johnson and Clinton too
Congress did what they had to do
Nixon resigned just in time
Obstructing justice and perjury
emoluments and Russian puppetry
treason is also a crime
Republicans, Democrats and inbetweeners
looking for high crimes and misdemeanors
maybe this will stick in your craw
but nobody is above the law
they vote on the articles in the house of representatives
a simple majority decides if you are impeached
then there is a trial in the senate in which they consider the charges
and vote to remove your from office and if they get two thirds then it is done
and you will never hold office again
maybe that's why
you don't do business with foreign spies
you don't keep slush funds
you don't tell lies
history knows what you've done
Republicans, Democrats and inbetweeners
tired of your high crimes and misdemeanors
founders and the framers foresaw
that nobody is above the law
nobody is above the law
nobody is above the law (even you)
