Impeachment 2.0: Dead on Arrival

 

Rand Paul can be annoying to me at times, but he is without a doubt one of the most principled members of the Senate.  If Trump does not run in 2024, the party could do far worse than have him as a standard bearer.

Four of the five characters in the Republican caucus who fancy you can hold impeachment proceedings in regard to someone who has left office are Senators who have been antagonistic to the President generally. Any actual legal arguments between your ears, Prof. Sasse?

I think an even bigger signal that this is dead on arrival is the fact that Justice Roberts doesn’t want anything to do with it. If he thought it would go through he would be front and center to take the glory of defeating Orange Man forever. But he is first and foremost someone who won’t stick out his own neck, so if he isn’t there, he thinks it will go nowhere.

In short, it will insure that every future federal election is as grotesquely corrupt as 2020’s— and the Democrats will control DC forever after.

Impeachment is sound and fury, signifying nothing. But while it’s dominating the news, it’s distracting sane people from the necessity of strangling threats like HB1 while they’re in the crib.

I don’t disagree with you, Donald— but I wonder if this farce, though it’s doomed to fail, isn’t useful to the left because it’s distracting attention from other, worse things the Left’s getting up to…
