The Constitution allows it. South Korea has proven it works. If you want to make impeachment viable—and so much else is pointless if you don't—then it can be done by a simple majority adopting a simple rules change: vote on the verdict by secret ballot.

A Democratic Senate Should Adopt Secret Impeachment Ballots on a Priority Basis
Such a change, requiring no constitutional amendment, would free senators to vote their judgment instead of their fears

Trump is raging at news orgs for refusing to cover his reception of Xi after he banned three from the White House. The real lesson here: When institutions join together to resist his abuses of power it actually works, sending him into a helpless fury. New from me: newrepublic.com/article/2158...

Trump’s Angry Tirade Over Failing Press Ban Reveals His Achilles’ Heel
Trump is furious that news organizations are fighting back against his vile efforts to punish their colleagues—because collective resistance to his authoritarianism actually works.

State legislatures are always amusing, and their elections tend to bring out strange circumstances. Here in Nevada, they elected a dead guy to the Assembly in 2018. Just because the candidate is dead doesn't mean the Ds can flip a solidly R district!

America’s Diminished Place In The World And The Consequences Of Not Impeaching
It has long been clear: Trump needs to be removed from office before he can inflict even more damage than he already has. But he doesn't just need to be stopped; for America to have a future he also needs to be repudiated. Impeachment speaks to each need, to both make clear his behavior is beyond anything we would ever tolerate as well as remove his capacity to continue it.

Just a quick note about Bovino being moved and the other aesthetic politicoplasty the Trump administration is undertaking: Don't be fooled. Don't get all Susan Collins-y about it. Trump hasn't learned his lesson. He never will.

If Stephen Miller is still in the White House, that means the white nationalist gameplan is still all systems GO. What we're witnessing is just window dressing and distractions. Tom Homan is just as bad as Bovino, but less openly Nazi. Keep your eyes wide open.

Haha probably not. No disrespect but as their constituent, I know who these two are, and they will accept almost any bad faith promise by Thune to cave in. I have seen this movie before. People need to understand that CCM is a cop, married to a cop, and craves LE organization approval.
