I knew back in the 90s when the Republicans impeach Bill Clinton, knowing for well that he would never be convicted, that the Democrats would get revenge. Frankly, I was surprised that they waited so long. But I guess 911 and the country uniting behind Bush stayed their hand.
They took their shots at Donald Trump, outdoing the GOP by double the number of impeachments.
Now the GOP has impeached Mayorkas. And the cycle will continue.
I’m not saying there should never be any impeachment. It is an important part of the constitution. But impeachment should be reserved for Cases in which it is clear that both parties are at least one party plus a significant chunk of the other party agrees that the president should be removed.
Prosecutors are supposed to hold to the standard that they don’t prosecuted case unless there’s a strong chance that you will convey. That’s another convention that’s gone by the way side of the multiple prosecution of Trump
Anyway, what are you? On both sides agree to stop being impeachment craziness? Could both sides be trusted to stick to that agreement? Or impeachments all part of the bridge and circuses that government provides they seem to do us no other good?
