      Just in structural terms, the politics of impeachment bend — almost inevitably — toward an alliance between official progressives and Never Trump elites. I hope you all are ready for this

      I dunno. In the House the most vociferous advocates of impeachment have been the Squad and the great foot-dragger has been Pelosi and the moderate dems. There is an ancien regime Resistance that loves impeachment but also lots of anti-Trump passion on the left.

          But they’re pursuing impeachment on narrow grounds

          I don't have a problem with that, since it'll mean a quick impeachment. It can be left up to presidential candidates like Sanders & Warren to draw out broader lessons from this.

          If you read the column, you'll see I disagree with 50% of those listed, and agree with 50% on the narrow technical issue of how impeachment should be done.

          the point was narrower than that: the actual mechanics of impeachment (and Senate trial) make these sorts of Schatz-French/Rubin-Heer style collaborations inevitable, and in fact central to national politics. to me, this is a mixed good at best

          If impeachment is done quickly (as it can be), there will be plenty of time move beyond anti-Trump point to a larger argument about systemic failure.

          Left has different reasons for impeachment than the center, the final straw was this Ukraine/Hunter Biden stuff but doing literal UN definition of genocide stuff wasn't enough for impeachment and that matters. Pelosi and Mods are the Moderate Republicans to Trump's A. Johnson

          What the squad left wants to impeach Trump over will never be what the House settles on. The squad thinks the Muslim ban and the border camps are themselves impeachable offenses. But those will never make it into passed articles of impeachment.
