The Speaker is aware of Trump's plan of attack, and is refusing to submit to his demands.
It's clear Trump is aware of the Speaker's plan of attack, and is refusing to submit to his demands. If that's obstruction then you guys should be happy - you've almost got him!
Yes SCOTUS looks for precedent. And SCOTUS precedent sided with the impeachment inquiry against Nixon VS. Executive Privilege.
A proper defense for someone that has done nothing wrong would be transparency, not utter obstruction.
No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

I would agree with you if this was the first, second, third, fourth, or even fifth time the left has attempted to unseat the fairly elected President.

this congress does not
Congress's floor vote circa Nixon was political messaging, not necessity. Ditto now.
The House of Representatives has complete dominion over how they conduct Impeachment proceedings. No vote required.
There is no legal or constitutional argument to be made that the House must vote to begin proceedings.
It does serve as a deflection talking point to identity-politics soldiers though.
Say it over and over and over...Sway those that don't have time to research.

The Dems are not going to play by the Constitution rules so the Gops are not going to play with them at all.

There is no impeachment inquiry underway. Not by Schiff, not by Pelosi. What we have is, as Trump accurately described it, a kangaroo court with no legal standing, that is making up the rules as it goes along.
Heck, Schiff wants to have the the latest "whistleblower" testify secretly, without any Republicans present. Yes, really. They're so far beyond deranged, Trump might seriously need to ask the Supreme Court to intervene and enforce something approaching Due Process.
Let us reiterate, THERE IS NO IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY.
