Political calculation vs Constitutional duty, That's the decision Pelosi will have to make.

[shockey80]

Will she decide the political risk is too high to impeach or will she decide the Democrats Constitutional duty out weighs all risks?

1. It's actually not. you act as though she can call for impeachment off the cuff

and that is NOT what is involved here. It starts in the Judiciary. There is a LOT of busting on Nancy Pelosi, but you all need to call the representatives that have not already called for his impeachment.

2. I am not busting on Pelosi.

She is the one who makes the final decision.

3. I agree

Democrats who favor the policy of impeachment are sometimes called anti-Pelosi, that isn't fair. I love Speaker Pelosi but I don't agree with her statement that we can't impeach until we get Republican Senators to go along.

I feel that the talking point that Trump wants to be impeached is false. Trump's biographer claimed that impeachment would devastate him.

I feel that the talking point that impeachment without a conviction will guarantee a Trump victory is pure speculation based on no evidence.

I feel for Speaker Pelosi, but if she were to push for an impeachment inquiry she would get 100% backing from her members. House members are loyal to the Speaker and that is a good thing.

4. Pulling the lens back

your question is one that has bothered me for decades.

Are America's political leaders, regardless of ideology or political affiliation, more concerned about Political calculation or Constitutional duty?

5. Easy peasy ...

Oath of Office takes precedence.
