Check In If You Support Impeachment of Trump!

272. Finally, I do.

Admittedly, I was on the fence about this for a long time. What Trump's done throughout his time in office is one big impeachable offense, but the public at large wasn't in favor of it, and I feared Democrats would suffer the fate of the Republicans in the wake of the Clinton impeachment. That, and conviction in the Senate is all but impossible. Impeachment might have been the moral and legal right thing to do, but it might cause more harm than good. My desire to see justice and my adherence to Realpolitik were more or less evenly opposed.

I've also long appreciated Speaker Pelosi as an incredibly intelligent and shrewd person. If she wasn't openly in favor of impeachment, there had to be a reason.

As of now, I think formal impeachment hearings are imperative. I think we're approaching the point where Democrats may suffer more for doing nothing.
