Already plenty for impeachment. When will Repubs decide he is more liability than asset?
"There are already plenty of grounds to impeach Donald Trump. The really interesting question is when key Republicans will decide that hes more of a liability than an asset.
If Trump keeps sucking up to Vladimir Putin, it could happen sooner than you think.
The first potential count is Trumps war with the courts. The Supreme Court is likely to give expedited review to the order by the 9th Circuit upholding Judge James Robarts order that tossed out Trumps bans on immigrants or refugees from seven countries, even permanent US residents and others with valid green cards.
Its encouraging that the agencies of government, such as the State Department and the Department of Homeland Security, immediately deferred to the court order, not to a president who thinks he can govern by decree.
But suppose the Supreme Court finds against Trump? Will he try to defy the high court? That would be a first-class impeachable offense. Even Richard Nixon deferred to a Supreme Court order to turn over the Watergate tapes."

"I know, I know ― impeachment requires charges by the House, and then a trial by the Senate. And these chambers are of course controlled by Republicans.
However, Republican alarm at Trump continues to increase at an accelerating rate."
