How Not to Impeach
Whipping up support for or against the process is a dangerous mistake.If the Democrats can get control of congress impeaching and removing Trump is a poor Idea. Pence is just as bad and he is competent. Repeatedly impeaching Trump without removing him is a better plan. Double jeopardy probably does not apply. Impeachment is political.

The professor I have been working with at Pratt loves Opera
and does not do computers.
The new Tosca is not yet available.
