10. The act alone of introducing impeachment holds meaning

I understand the argument that folks want to be "assured" of a victory (i.e. the 66 votes); BUT, even if victory is not assured, does not the very act itself of introducing it in the House for debate hold HUGE meaning? We may not win the first time, though a historian may read that some DEMS (and maybe even a rethug or two) at least tried to acknowledge the war crimes and trampling of our constitutional freedoms. Tried to stop the insanity!

Sometimes it makes sense to move forward, even if you think you may lose....if the cause is great enough.
