I think we should encourage this.
1. It will anger most people if they try to impeach the President.
2. It will reveal the Democrats as the moonbats they are.
3. The President will be gone in 18 months. He can spin out the trial to take up a good half of that time. With luck, he can have the Senate trial during the Democrat’s primary season. That will trap their leading candidates between the nutroots and the sane majority.
4. The more time Democrats spend conducting an impeachment the less time they will have for legislating. Whenever the Democrats hold Congress *anything* that reduces their time to write new laws is a feature, not a bug.
“The President will be gone in 18 months. He can spin out the trial to take up a good half of that time.”
They perhaps want to turn the “trial” into a showcase for political grist, but it won’t work. It will backfire on them. I don’t think the Dems are that politically naive.
5. It will suck the air out of the room when their eventual candidate tries to get elected. Just imagine the spinning that Hillary or Obama would have to do to avoid looking like they support such nonsense.
Or, in the alternative, look how much endorsing impeachment would do to sink their campaigns, when the public is sick of it after 4-6 months.
