Attacking Democrats for not having already begun impeachment proceedings is entitlement wrapped in ahistorical error, with a side of disrespect for the rule of law.

Remember, Watergate took place in June, 1972 and the impeachment hearings began in February, 1974. At the start, Nixon's approval was above 60%. By the time enough Republicans were on board in the Congress, impeachment was underway. It took time to accomplish a real and lasting political tectonic shift.

Stop being entitled and start being practical.

Call for impeachment, yes - I do so frequently - but don't attack Democrats as 'pussyfooting' or weak, or using 'kid gloves' because they are the only party left defending the rule of law.

We must work for the outcome, not merely insist on it while stamping our feet, petulant and entitled.
