GIVE IT AN ASTERISK: Roger Kimball: The ‘Impeachment’ of Donald Trump: It’s amazing what semantic potency can reside in a pair of quotation marks. “Many commentators, myself included, have warned that the House was playing a dangerous game by taking the box marked ‘impeachment’ down from the shelf and beginning to bat those balls around when there were no plausible grounds—none—for playing the game to begin with. Impeachment—again, as many commentators, myself included, have pointed out—was intended by the Founders to be a remedy of last resort, an in-case-of-fire-break-glass option when every other recourse had failed. As recently as this March, Nancy Pelosi had insisted that impeachment had to be a bipartisan decision, only employed to address the most serious crimes.”
