re: #1 lawhawk

Later can’t mean never.

Trump gets away with abrogating the rule of law until someone stands up to him. Impeachment might not work out as you hope it will, but it’s still worth doing. No one is above the law.

Trump might not get removed from office, but those in the GOP will be held accountable. This matters.

This is really the core issue at the moment, this idea of pushing it off to a hypothetical “later” when the polls are so deeply in favor that Chuck can somehow secure a solid 67 votes to remove Trump. Why? Because it’s viewed as a major political liability for the party if they move to impeach and he’s “exonerated” by his own party. With the constant refrain that “Clinton benefited from being impeached” when the evidence to support that conclusion is murky at best.
