Words don’t mean anything to the current breed of Democrats: there’s no abiding reason for any of them to worry about defining terms or “being precise”. The “gesture” , the “symbolism” of the act of impeachment takes precedence over the legalistic meaning of the word.Just getting it out there monopolizing the news cycle for a week or more is enough to feel “mission accomplished”-—in addition, they make of it a partisan display of “principles” when they give so much attention to sleaze like Liz Cheney as a conscience-stricken Republican boldly separating himself from the “renegade” populations of Republicans who on this issue and possibly mostly this issue alone,(who knows? time will tell) are against the farce of “impeachment”.
The Democrats love words.
The vast majority of lawyers are Democrats.
Lawyers make their money with words.
