On July 25, 1974, Barbara Jordan wore peach.

She did. I first posted this back in October and did not even notice until now. Put her name back in the news, bring up her words again, let no one forget. It is time for her to speak again. Her impeachment remarks begin at 3:56.

Edit - the most famous excerpt at 4:40

Today I am an inquisitor. An hyperbole would not be fictional and would not overstate the solemnness that I feel right now. My faith in the Constitution is whole; it is complete; it is total. And I am not going to sit here and be an idle spectator to the diminution, the subversion, the destruction, of the Constitution.

I watched with the sound off first and was surprised how much of her and that speech I remembered from the 70's.
