I've already said that the pressure on Democrats to impeach will be enormous. And they might very well follow through.
I'm saying what they SHOULD do. I'm not making predictions about what they WILL do.
Impeachment is still a really, really bad idea unless 67 senators are ready to go along.
Tiny would almost certainly be acquitted and he would come out of it stronger than ever. Is that a risk you want to take?
Yes. I think you have to follow the rule of law and the guidelines that are set in the Constitution. If we never impeach someone for fear they might get stronger, then why even have the process?
It's very simple:
* The impeachment process allows for the removal of the president.
* The impeachment process is pointless if you don't have the votes for removal.
* The impeachment process is NOT there to make you feel better.
