Reply #123: There is no convincing. Simply confronting

[Senator]

And if having an impeachment sticker on your car is the most you can do to stop torturers then that's fine. Everyone does what they can. Nothing more can be expected.

But rationalizing and excuse-making for those who failed to live up to their oaths of office is something that simply needs to be confronted because it is so damaging in the long run, and is the reason we are in such danger in the first place.

Impeachment is not a "policy." And standing on principle is not a "coalition building" activity. You either do it or you don't. And when you don't, people are free to conclude that you have no principles.
