Since when is that an impeachable offense

Never mind the rats need any excuse no matter how stupid and ridiculous.

The standard for Impeachment and removal is necessarily a subjective one, with those criteria as guidelines. The House decides if it is worthy of consideration, and the Senate considers.

One would hope that the Congress would be reasonable about it...but the Democrats are just plain stuck in hysteria.

A High Crime is any crime committed by an official of sufficiently high authority to have executive authority over the behavior. Only someone with high authority can commit a high crime, like High Treason.

Misdemeanor literally means a mis- or bad, demeanor- or attitude.

The argument could be made well that the Democrats completely suborned the “high crime” definition with BJBC, but prevailing on their sense of hypocrisy seems dubious.

The better course seems to be to really make sure they don’t get into a position where they can execute the silliness they’ve laid out.

oops sorry. you were responding to 23, not 24.

In regards 23...they are craven, and in the middle of a colossal hissy-fit.
