Such a calculation - amnesty-by-fiat to deliberately court - TopicsExpress



          

Such a calculation - amnesty-by-fiat to deliberately court impeachment - is breathtakingly cynical. But clever. After all, there is no danger of impeachment succeeding. There will never be 67 votes in the Senate to convict. But talking it up is a political bonanza for Democrats, stirring up an otherwise listless and dispirited base. Last Monday alone the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee raised more than $1 million from anti-impeachment direct mail. Apart from the money, impeachment talk energizes Democrats and deflects attention from the real-life issues that are dragging them down - the economy, Obamacare, the failures of Obamas foreign policy. Everything, in other words, that has sunk Obama to 40 percent approval, the lowest ebb of his presidency.
