Tonight, a group of neighbors stood around Jamie's house and applauded as he returned home.

This is what a hero of the republic looks like.

#TrumpIsGuilty and @RepRaskin proved it.

Couldn't be prouder to be a constituent of Jamie @RepRaskin, our neighbor and friend ... No better time to be a constitutional law expert.

2. K & R!!! He is a scholar and a gentleman, and a true hero!

If I lived a few miles to the west he'd be my representative too!

[Joinfortmill]

3. He was magnificent.

[peggysue2]

4. Good!

I said in an earlier thread that at the very least the man deserved a standing ovation for his efforts and excellent presentation. A difficult job under any circumstances and certainly made more so after the recent loss of his son.

Well done, Sir!

6. I wish I knew it is only about 30 minutes from here

Maybe longer because of the ice storm, but would have been worth being there even in the ice.

He has been inspirational.

9. Something occurred to me the other day about Raskin

But I decided to wait until this trial was over to mention it, but having watched I suppose every episode of Law and Order multiple times ... he reminds me of
Jack McCoy ... it’s in his diction, and the way he wags his head left to right at times to elucidate his point, and in his fire to seek and speak the truth ...

if you’ve watched the series, you’ll recognize it

10. A grateful nation thanks you, Jamie Raskin

12. Wish I could have been there!!

He was truly marvelous!! I expected the hearing to be dry and even tedious (so many are). Was I ever wrong! I listened, spellbound, to his every word. Masterly!

[BobTheSubgenius]

13. In a previous thread, the OP was a picture of Jamie Raskin wiping tears.

I said at the time that his superlative efforts would get wide notice and enthusiastic approval. And so it begins.

[soothsayer]

14. Yeah that was touching

[colorado_ufo]

15. Yes, this is the portrait of a TRUE patriot.

His name should go among the greatest of statesmen.

[bdamomma]

16. That is

so beautiful. He is a great man.

Thank you Representative Raskin.

[mysteryowl]

17. I would have been there too, we all would have.

So, thank you to the neighbors that did this! You honored him for all of us.

[crickets]

18. What a wonderful thing. I'm so glad.

[MackinacBridge]

19. Wonderful to hear

Wonderful to hear about the applause and warm greetings. I hope it helped him transition back home and away from the tremendous work he and his fellow managers have been doing these last few weeks.

Rest well, Representative Raskin. Be with your family and take time to grieve your son now.

[pfitz59]

21. The indictment wrote itself

Congressman Raskin gave it direction. In a normal court of law guilt would have been undeniable.

[NJCher]

22. I wish I could give 10,000,000 recs

To this thread.

By doing the excellent job that he did, he showed millions of Americans and the world what a true patriot is.

He stands in stark contrast to those destructive fools who can only call themselves patriots.

[marieo1]

23. A Hero

Thank you, Mr. Raskin, you are our HERO!! You were wonderful and showed the nation/world what real honor is. Thank you!!

[Jay25]

24. He did a great job, and I thank him.

Jamie is a very intelligent and talented man. He made trump's defense team look like amateurs.

[elleng]

26. Thank you.

Thank THEM!

[pattyloutwo]

27. That's great to hear

Thanks for sharing 🌟

[Elwood P Dowd]

28. One more K&R.

[StarryNite]

29. He is a hero.

I hope he knows just how much he is appreciated.

[qanda]

30. Proud to be the one to give this 200 recommends

Great job, Mr. Raskin. You took on a job to try to save our democracy when your heart was shattered. My thoughts continue to be with you and your family.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

31. Wish he could hear the rest of us applauding him and the team!

[llmart]

32. This is what true patriotism looks like.

Not those idiotic freaks dressed up in Halloween costumes, spewing profanities and making a mockery of our country's democratic ideals and hallowed Capitol building.

Mr. Raskin - I salute you and thank you for the tireless work you did on behalf of real Americans.

[smirkymonkey]

33. K&R for Rep. Jamie Raskin!

A true American hero and patriot!

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

34. I'm glad he got an idea in person of how grateful so many of us are

for the magnificent job he did.



I have to say, though, that I fear for his safety. He is the antithesis of the RW mob, and they find that offensive. And clearly they believe violence is an acceptable way to express their disapproval.

[TNNurse]

35. I wish we could thank them all.

He deserved and needed that.

[Liberal In Texas]

36. He's good. I'd want him if I ever needed a lawyer. n/t

[msfiddlestix]

37. Yesterday and this morning, I was thinking of calling or writing him

I wish I was one of his neighbors or at least live close enough to join in.

My respect and admiration for him is beyond any ability to express.


As an aside, I was stunned when he brought up Dar Williams name in his commentary referring to her as a friend, whom I had been acquainted with some years ago.

I loved how he brought up SNIC, and addressed the issues they were involved with. Giving honor to Julian Bond (who I had the pleasure of meeting at a social event also some years ago) and John Lewis.

What a precious soul he is and treasure we have.

I could listen to him speak for hours.

39. This is awesome!

[LaMouffette]

40. Thank you, Representative Raskin! Your humanity shone through every time you spoke.

You and the other impeachment managers did an exemplary job. You are our heroes!

Bless you and your family!

[cp]

41. Our hero

Brilliance and humanity, truly magnificent!
Thank you.

[OLDMDDEM]

42. Yes

I'm a proud Marylander!

[More_Cowbell]

43. This was good to see

Considering how hard all the house managers worked, and that Rep. Raskin was grieving the recent loss of his son. Thanks for posting.

[NCjack]

44. Jamie, make a lot of copies of the managers' presentations. Be sure to send copies to

Hollywood for the movie and to the DNC for the campaign ads.

I would like to play you in the movie.

[Upthevibe]

45. Wonderful!

I wish there was a video. This man has my heart....
