Via Dana Houle’s twitter feed. This is pretty much where I am on the impeachment process, too:
2. Just read the articles to see the Democrats are not coming apart. Disagreement, moreover, does not mean disunity. For one thing, these are liberals. (Liberals always disagree.) For another, impeachment is the most serious question most of them will face.

4. My point is read critically. The Washington press corps has a professional interest in heightening intra-party divisions, because divisions between partisans who are not supposed to disagree is newsworthy in Washington.

6. Again, bosh. You’d expect the Washington press corps to have learned a thing or two since the “Tea Party Movement” turned out to be less about the “principles of liberty” and “limited government,” and more about opposing America’s first black president.

14. (I don’t know if impeachment is the end, but that’s how I’m reading this morning’s reporting.) Far from being divided, the House Democrats are behaving the way you’d want them to behave on a matter of such magnitude.

21. She added: “This isn’t about politics at all. It’s about patriotism. It’s about the strength we need to have to see things through.” That’s not slow-walking impeachment. That’s saying we gotta do this right or don’t do it.

24. In general, though, I’d say Pelosi & Dems understand that they must get institutions on their side as much as possible. That means the public, the press, and the courts. That way, impeaching Trump does not look like it’s about politics.
That way, impeachment is patriotism.
