When keen minds like Andy McCarthy and Dan McLaughlin are wary of impeachment, proponents like myself ought to pause, consider their arguments, and contemplate whether their wariness is a warning to be heeded. The concern about what precedent is being set is a legitimate one, although I’d note we’re already in uncharted territory. Just about
It’s all but silent as I step out onto 17th Street just past noon, a small gaggle of flag-waving MAGA folk to my left the only other people in sight. It’s warm enough to walk, so I make off for the Capitol on foot. At Black Lives Matter Plaza I pass a group of activists

America resides unsteadily today upon a knife’s edge of politics. The elections of 2020, including the January 5 runoffs in Georgia, have not only demonstrated a near-parity in the relative power of the two major parties but also a chasm between them in terms of their respective views on the essence of America and the

Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler can’t eat in peace in his hometown when antifa terrorists are on the loose. No matter what this guy does, he can’t win.

Wednesday saw disgusting acts of sedition and insurrection from radical elements of the far-right as Trump supporters launched an assault on the Capitol, breaching its halls and offices.

Functionally, I mean. Nominally the answer is yes. Impeachment proceedings haven’t begun — yet. The 25th Amendment process hasn’t begun — yet.
