Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsWould you favor impeachment over the social security/medicare recent proposals?
I will say up front I don't think impeachment is the way to go. I am disgusted by the proposal for cuts to these critical and necessary programs, but it is not something that rises to the level of impeachment, which should be something criminal IMHO. So because I have seen impeachment being brought up now in several threads, I wanted to take the temperature in general of duers on this topic.

OP
If impeachment would make any difference I'd be for it. But what good would it do?

Really shitty negotiating isn't a high crime, misdemeanor, or treason against the state

I'm not happy, but impeachment is just a nutbar idea.

Impeachment talk is based in fantasy.

Not to mention, you'd still need that 2/3 majority in the Senate.

this wouldn't be an issue in the first place. I think it more likely that republicans will impeach over some trumped up nonsense.
