I honestly don't understand the constitutional crisis here. Impeachment is an inherently political process. Watching Senators tie themselves into a logical pretzel over why misconduct doesn't warrant removal is depressing, but by itself it poses no threat to the Constitution.https://twitter.com/ezraklein/status/1222521721225449472 …

The American voter has spoken out loud and clear about impeachment. "Meh," they said. Let's go win some elections instead! Release the Senate Four, so they can go finish campaigning in Iowa!

I think it's significant that Bernie, Buttigieg, Biden and perhaps others are all campaigning in Iowa over what a distraction impeachment is from real issues. Get senators on the record with bad votes and move on. Last thing we need is the Senate hosting a Death Walrus book tour.

dems are snatching defeat from victory as always by hyperventilating about process and norms, making "impeachment" this arcane process and about "following the rules" in a time where "following the rules" is exceedingly unpopular

They knew that Trump-friendly courts would have stalled it indefinitely. This was widely reported, I don’t know why you claim not to be aware of it.
