Because due to the context of its implementation in this case, Democrats are only evoking impeachment to stall the confirmation of a Supreme Court nominee. This is something we don't want to normalize. Digging up an impeachable offense from however long ago to use now instead of then is a bad look.
There's a recession and millions about to have their unemployment benefits end. Another Impeachment isn't a winning strategy. The dems have said as much when it was suggested they should impeach Barr.
After all the lying and dirty shit Republicans have been doing for years it's time for the Democrats to play dirty too. I'd say let the gloves come off. These guys are outright lying and being the ultimate hypocrites to gain power. Republicans created this problem so I'd say who cares about precedent at this point.
I'd rather not see us proliferate the erosion of precedent and the importance of constitutional powers for short-term political gain that will eventually backfire and put us in an even worse position than we are in now. Where does it end, and where will we end up?
GOP would do the same thing if they were in the same position. I say everything is on the table. Trump fucked this country up. Dems need to do whatever it takes to get it back on course.
Democrats adhering to unwritten norms while Republicans just steamroll all over them is precisely why we got to this point. At some point either the Dems have to fight back or just let the GOP rout them out in all political battles. The time for caring about looks has long been gone.
But if Dems do this imagine what Republicans and Fox News will say!
There's only so many sessions left till the election. The senators also need to go campaign, both D and R. Mitch can't hold them up indefinitely. Theres other business as well, like passing government funding.
The longer you're in politics, the more you can rely on your own background for support.
Even after Trump is dead we should posthumously impeach him once a year as a national holiday
We should treat him like Guy Fawks and burn a dummy every year after his death.
Its like that first Demon's Souls boss where the game is designed in a way that the dungeon boss kills you regardless of what you do and no matter how many strikes you hit him.
I'd donate to a national account to provide money for this holiday.
It could be the reenactment that replaces the Civil War one. We can even use all the racists want to be the Confederacy as the Republican Politicians.
Worked well last time. House stalled for a while. Weeks to a month I think. Can be done longer.
