Impeachment is NOT about "getting" a sitting

[Ninga]

President.
It’s ultimately about protecting and safe guarding the Office of the Presidency, not to make it a laughable stock or a quick stop for self serving opportunist.

If the Congress does not take its oversight responsibilities seriously and allows this abomination to stand - then the degradation and erosion will leave such a stain that it may take decades to restore.

1. Well put.

2. Our government is so screwed up, it will really be hard to repair...

There will never be any continuity any more. Every time we get a change in Presidents with his party holding a house it will be government by decree. All votes in the Senate will be simple majority now. No more filibuster to protect the minority from being run over. Regulations will be enacted one term and all removed the next... It's going to be strange...

3. According to li'l Lindsey, it requires no proof of a crime; it's about "cleansing the office". nt

4. Sen Hoyer makes it sound like the Dems have no stomach for impeachment.

So does it mean that no matter the info in Mueller's report, no way no how Dems were going to impeach?

5. What Hoyer would do if Trump did the Fifth Ave thing?

7. I do not think it's wise for any elected Democrat to declare that Impeachment is off the

table.

So much can change even in 24 hrs.
