The impeachment inquiry moved to the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday with a panel of constitutional scholars tackling the million dollar question in the debate: Do President Donald Trump's actions warrant impeachment under the Constitution?

"We three are unanimous," Gehardt said, when they were asked if Trump's actions amount to a"high crime and misdemeanor," as identified in the Constitution. Karlan also compared Trump's actions with Ukraine to a president withholding disaster aid for a state. "I get it. You're mad," he told the panel in his opening statement."The president's mad. My Republican friends are mad. My Democratic friends are mad. My wife is mad. My kids are mad. Even my dog seems mad."

He urged Democrats to consider what they will do"when the wind blows again perhaps for a Democratic president."Republicans immediately tried to throw a wrench in the works with demands of procedural inquiries and roll call votes to force testimony from other witnesses.
