Reply #116: I agree. The partisan 'calculus' is itself a violation of the oath of office, imho. [View All]

Of particular bemusement (to me) is the 'calculus' that assumes that the Democrats should somehow benefit from the rapacious behavior of the GOP ... as though injury to the nation and the world has a "silver lining" of partisan advantage. I personally regard that viewpoint as every bit as corrupt as the GOP grasp for power. (It's the kind of partisan seduction that compels me to be an independent liberal.)

It seems to me that the poorly-founded fear of some partisan disadvantage resulting from any principled assertion of grounds for impeachment and promulgation of relevant articles of impeachment is of the same moral and ethical kind. Corrupt.
