A quick turnaround on impeachment articles, an event of historic significance, a vital moment of moral reckoning for the nation, will occur over the sleepy holiday season when Americans’ attention is sparse.
The Senate trial, will force Senators Booker, Klobuchar, Sanders and Warren to cease campaigning in the crucial month before the Iowa caucuses to return to sit as jurors. Rushing to draft articles also means that crucial information about the Ukraine scandal will not be made public.
More broadly, such a narrow and quick impeachment process risks being not only politically wasteful for the Democrats, but cowardly as well, in the admittedly warped logic of American political messaging. Just a thought.
