57. How does allowing the USA to remain a War Criminal nation prevent. . .

. . .a fascist faction from finding a pretense on which to impeach?

How does appeasing fascists keep them from attacking at will?

This is not about THEM. This is about US.

The power to impeach is the power to enforce the dictates of our Constitution. We delegated that power to the men and women who we elect to serve as Our Voice. The power to impeach is of absolute necessity to maintaining our sovereignty over the officials in the executive and the judiciary who we have charged with certain duties.

If Our Congress abuses that power, it is up to us to see the abusers replaced.

With her "off the table" edict, Pelosi is attempting to strip us of our enforcement power. It is an attempt to render us powerless to assert our sovereignty. Abusing her power to put down any Member who threatens to champion impeachment is more destructive to the integrity of our constitutional democracy than the cynical misuse of impeachment to advance the agenda of a given faction.

Unless she wakes up and takes up the fight for impeachment, we need to do everything we can to replace her.
