"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
Impeachment Off, GOP Fears It Will Rally Obama Democrats
This, again, demonstrates the complete illegitimacy of the FedGov. Notice that the choice to impeach or not has absolutely nothing to do with concepts of right and wrong, legal and illegal, or justice. Doing what, according to their political system and the Constitution they all swear to honor and protect, is right and holding a president accountable for willfully, flagrantly and repeatedly committing “treason and high crimes and misdemeanors,” as their governmental/political system defines those actions, doesn't figure into their decision making at all. The GOP decided the matter not on what is right, not on what their constituents want, but on political strategy and the best way to maintain a grasp on their own taxpayer subsidized power and privilege.
