He is, but impeachment is not priority one. It won’t change a thing about his policies. Beating Dems and reversing his policies is what will maybe, perhaps, save the country.

Impeachhing him accomplishes nothing….as much as I’d like to see it.

I believe yours is the pragmatic position. I also don’t like it, but what good would it do to stand on principle if such a stand ends up working against said principle?

So we think President Obama violated the law and constitution and want to impeach him to uphold the rule of law. If that antagonizes Democrat voters and ends in the reelection of otherwise weak Democrats (who we could have defeated otherwise), our stand on the rule of law works against it by further empowering the law breakers.

I would love for things to be different in America, but we are where we are regardless. Even worse, conservatives better brace themselves for two more years of disappointment even if we win the Senate. Sadly, we are almost certainly not going to have enough conservative senators after the next election to win an actual impeachment trial against the president. Think Clinton redux. We will likely have a hard enough time overcoming presidential vetoes as it is.
