Talking about impeachment? Get it right.

There are a lot of wild posts floating around on the topic of impeachment. You can get the solid legal analysis on the how’s and why’s in this little book. Give yourself a leg up, read it.

N.B. — Black’s book isn’t specific to our current problem, it’s about impeachment as a legal and constitutional topic.

Also, this recent article by Lawrence Tribe in the Washington Post explains why it is important to start formal impeachment investigation hearings instead of just doing regular oversight hearings (regular oversight hearings do not give authority to Congress to obtain grand jury info; only formal impeachment proceedings can do that):

Significantly, the appeals court decision several days ago reaffirmed that exception. All three judges agreed that an impeachment inquiry falls within the “exception for judicial proceedings” and “coheres” with other rulings about the proper scope of grand jury secrecy.
