Called out on bipartisan opposition to impeachment, Illinois Dem congressman Quigley calls it "extraordinarily marginal"

One of the embarrassments among the Democrats in the House of Representatives is Mike Quigley (D-IL). During a House Intelligence Committee impeachment hearing last month, Quigley remarked, "Hearsay can be much better evidence" than direct evidence. Really? Hearsay evidence can only be used in court for exceptionally unique reasons, such as in the Drew Peterson case. You remember him? He's nasty Illinois ex-cop whose wives kept vanishing.

This morning Quigley struck dog dirt again. Support for impeachment is a monoculture of Dems. Opposition to it is bipartisan, although so far only a very few Democrats appear to be against it. When confronted on CNN with this reality, Quigley responded that this opposition is "extraordinarily marginal."

The odds of the president being removed from office by the Senate is also extraordinarily marginal, Mike.
