"At this point, the bigger national scandal isn't the president's lawbreaking behavior - it is the Democratic Party's refusal to impeach him for it."

This may not be the political thing to do. But in order to safeguard our democracy, it is the right thing to do.

"We should impeach Trump for his beyond-criminal climate policy."

"Trump's disregard of the law and all democratic principles cannot be ignored."

In short, there are potent Constitutional grounds to impeach Trump for climate terrorism, and doing so would forcefully deter any Republican “rightist revolutionary” from pursuing similar ecocidal policies.

This may not be the practical political thing to do. But it is the right thing to do.

Until reactionary Republican malfeasance is exposed and discredited, the USA will remain the most divided, globally dangerous and morally backward of affluent western nations.
