I wrote this on FB last night, might as well post it here:
On the eve of Donald Trump’s impeachment, lest anything think I’m a biased liberal out to get a president I simply don’t like, it’s worth reminding everyone that I was 100% in support of Bill Clinton’s impeachment in 1999. Know why? Because truth and honesty matter, dignity matters, and upholding the Constitution matters. Because the presidential occupants of the White House are entrusted to lead all of us in an ethically sound manner, and in accordance with the laws that govern this country and that govern judicial process. Because when presidents lie, when they put themselves ahead of national interests, when they subvert time-honored procedure and decorum for the sake of self-preservation, when they reject attempts to investigate wrongdoing in accordance with the law it is wrong, and it comes with lasting damage to a great nation. It’s why impeachment exists, and it’s why impeachment is not dependent on strictly criminal acts.
Trump’s impeachment tomorrow isn’t to be celebrated. It’s to be reflected on as an incredible low point in our history. It will take decades to course-correct from the actions and inactions that brought a presidency to this.

- Back in reality, your best guess of outcome in Senate? You were 100% wrong with your hope last time. Good typist but not so good with that numbers thingy?********
- In reality, nobody thinks Senate will do anything but sink to his new level of low and cement themselves in history as the ones who failed the nation.monospaced
