re: #113 Eclectic Cyborg

Sorry, Nancy. Can’t agree with you on this one. That bastard deserves to be Impeached. The Mueller Report gives you umpteen valid reasons to.

Make a stand, dammit.

Impeachment being more a political process than a legal one is a two-edged sword. On the one hand, you really don’t need absolute evidence of violating the criminal code. On the other, even if you have it but can’t get 2/3 of the Senate to convict, you end up at a minimum wasting your time and possibly convincing a big chunk of the electorate that you’re just trying to undo an election you didn’t win.

Arguably, Bill Clinton should have resigned, because his impeachment was widely, and I think correctly, seen as a nakedly political attempt to undo the election of somebody the GOP really hated, the culmination of a years long smearfest by the Right. And the way it played out essentially poisoned Impeachment as a remedy for anything but maybe the President shooting an innocent person on live TV.
