I heard a lot of speeches yesterday during the impeachment. Thought folks might want to repost some that struck them as notable.

Gerry Connolly of VA said this:

Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.), in a 30-second animated speech from the House floor, addressed his Republican colleagues, asserting that the current hour was a "moment of truth."

"The American people are asking is there any depravity too low? Is there any outrage too far? Is there any blood and violence too much to turn hearts and minds in this body? Instead of the usual justification, rationalization and enabling and false equivalence we have to hear?" Connolly asked, looking across the aisle at Republicans.

"This is a moment of truth my friends. Are you on the side of chaos and the mob? Or on the side of Constitutional democracy and our freedom?"

Following his brief remarks, lawmakers could be heard clapping in the background.

Good points. Four years of explaining away weekly outrages had me wondering the same thing. Where is the bottom? How far is too far? Even one branch of government attacking another wasn't enough to penetrate the hyper-partisan tribalism.
