Impeachment is a shortcut for oversight:
Since talk of impeachment is in the air, it seems incumbent on all vocal critics of the president to go on the record with their points of view on this momentous question. So let me devote this column to explaining why I think it’s a bad idea on both policy and political grounds.
Well-reasoned. I think it’s an interesting idea to let things get to where even the most rigid of GOP rascals has to realize things have gone too far. But his main point — that no effort has been made to manage this reckless administration and impeachment is an admission of failure more than a statement of principle — is, I think, correct.
Letting the Republic, and the Constitution on which it was founded, twist in the wind until that time doesn’t fill me with optimism.
