LETTER: Impeachment trial necessary

Updated February 2, 2021 - 10:39 am

Robert Webb is entitled to his opinion (Thursday letter to the editor) on impeachment. The Senate trial, however, will bring to light the extent of then-President Donald Trump’s involvement in the events of Jan. 6 (inciting his followers with lies so that they would try to overthrow our democracy).

The American people have a right to know the details. Each individual senator will have to live with his/her decision and will have to answer questions now and in the future.

LETTER: Columbia kids need to learn to pay their own way

Frankly, if I had kids at Columbia who participated in these “protests,” I’d yank them out of school, toss their stuff onto the lawn and tell them to get a job, go live in the real world and pay your own way.

LETTER: Here’s the real threat to democracy

In the 2020 election, Mr. Biden ran on promises he has failed to keep. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
