The argument for impeachment should be made with dignity, scholarship, integrity and sobriety befitting the removal of a sitting president for abuse of power. It is more than justified by the facts. The political terrain renders the taking of action problematic. But the case can and should be addressed as described without any urgency of confronting the political winds.

Remember, Nixon was never impeached. He was deprived of his political support by the calm, deliberate, relentless investigation of the facts. An impeachment vote was never taken in the full House. Yet, it had become clear that, but for Nixon's resignation, such a vote would be passed with decisive bipartisan support.

Properly conducted, such a discussion could be a lesson on the nature and limits of governance in a democratic republic, and restore even to the idiot 42% a sense of what this Nation was intended to be all about.

“Remember, Nixon was never impeached.”

Yes, that is true and I also think that the impeachment hearings were ill-advised.

It was absolutely about national security. The Republican presidential staff was trying to keep a known communist b**** out of the White House. The Congress should have been pinning medals on the entire White House staff, including President Nixon!
