House Judiciary Committee laying groundwork for Articles of Impeachment. It’s just more frivolous kabuki, but kind of fun. The power of impeachment is reserved to the Senate...like that’s ever going to happen.
Impeachment belongs to the House. Removal belongs to the Senate.
The thing that will keep it from being kabuki is if the vast majority of the public wants impeachment. If so, it might happen.
It's got to be the people who steer it that way because if it is perceived as purely political it could lead to civil war.
As far as the Senate...if there is overwhelming demand from the public Reid would have to act. However, keep in mind that the Senate could go GOP in less than a year making the possibility of impeachment that much greater.
