OK, Fine, but you’re the one who claimed there must be a crime for impeachment and conviction. Now, you’re saying that impeachment and conviction is politically driven by the people. Make up your mind.

OK, Fine, too, you claimed, contrary to law, that conviction and impeachment can be appealed to USSC. Evidently, you think that if enough people desire, USSC will overrule precedent and hear the appeal. You do understand that in today’s environment there will be as many demanding USSC take the appeal as demanding that USSC honors precedent?

During this whole discussion, you've been assuming that impeachment is a simple process, and that all it takes is for some democrats to be politically motivated to start and finish the process. But, it's not that simple, is it? What are the numbers needed in the house to start impeachment, and how worried would they be about their prospects of getting re-elected in the next election cycle, which comes sooner than the impeachment process can get started? Then, there is the senate, which as we all know, is controlled by republicans; so, how far do you think democrats would get before the senate puts a complete stop to the insanity? And, the people are the ultimate deciders, since it's they who decide if an impeachment is warranted, via polls and voting. The simplicity is not as simple as you think.
