(WAPO) Laurence Tribe: Impeach Trump. But don't necessarily try him in the Senate. [View all] hlthe2b Jun 2019 OP

Don't get me wrong. It is a brilliant proposition. Nevilledog Jun 2019 #15

Sure. Tribe's not the first one to bring this up, though, and Hortensis Jun 2019 #19

Tribe's visibility is very useful. As you say, Hortensis Jun 2019 #32

Yup. LiberalLovinLug Jun 2019 #14

Really? You say that? While the House is led by the UNPRECEDENTED Nancy Pelosi, first woman? Bernardo de La Paz Jun 2019 #16
