Should public schools fully open NOW to the extent that parents feel comfortable; exposing their children to in-person, or virtual learning, or a hybrid of both?
  Yes, parents should have some determination in the process of educating their children here in the Age of Covid.
  No, schools should not fully open until the Education Industry and a majority of Leftist politicians deem it practicable.
  I never cared much about that whole education thing.

Rubio Labels Second Trump Impeachment ‘Arrogant’

Publisher's Note: This post appears here courtesy of the John Locke Foundation. The author of this post is Mitch Kokai.

  Mairead McArdle writes for National Review Online about one high-profile Republican senator's response to the second impeachment of Donald Trump.

  • Senator Marco Rubio (R., Fla.) on Sunday called the effort to impeach former President Trump in order to bar him from running for office again "arrogant," saying "voters get to decide" who is elected.
  • "I think that's an arrogant statement for anyone to make," Rubio responded when asked by host Chis Wallace on Fox News Sunday about whether Trump should be impeached to prevent a future campaign for office.
  • "Voters get to decide that. Who are we to tell voters who they can vote for in the future?" the Florida Republican asked.
  • The House is set to deliver the single article of impeachment against Trump on grounds of "incitement of insurrection" to the Senate on Monday, and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) has said that the impeachment trial will begin the week of February 8.
  • In the impeachment article, Democrats cited the 14th Amendment, which prevents those who "engaged in insurrection or rebellion" against the U.S. from ever holding public office in the future.
  • Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.) pushed to delay to Senate trial to give both the Trump team and Democratic prosecutors time to prepare their arguments, but is said to be pleased about the Democratic efforts to impeach Trump, saying he believes Trump has committed impeachable offenses and that the move will make it easier for Republicans to purge him from the party.
  • Rubio, however, disagrees, arguing that the process will "continue to fuel these divisions that have paralyzed the country."
  • "The first chance I get to vote to end this trial, I will do it, because I think it's really bad for America," Rubio said.

  Rubio, of course, was one of Trump's top competitors for the Republican Party's 2016 presidential nomination.
