Column: Nancy Pelosi's impeachment deliberateness has been maddening, but it's finally paying off (via latimesopinion)
It’s all disturbing. Very disturbing. Or rather, as Rep. Carolyn B. Maloney put it after sitting through Tuesday’s impeachment inquiry testimony, “extremely, extremely, extremely disturbing.”
For fully half of Americans, the ones who now favor the president’s removal from office, there’s finally hope that Trump might — at long last — be held responsible for the grave injuries he’s done to this country.
For the president, this is indeed extremely, extremely, extremely bad. It’s not hearsay, and it underscores the tune we’ve already heard. Sometimes, orchestral music can start to sound like an alarm. An eight-page House resolution, scheduled for a vote Thursday, will formalize the impeachment inquiry, making it blindingly clear that the members of the Democratic majority understand the solemnity of their work and the importance of sticking to the proper procedures.
In May, when impeachment was barely a glimmer in the congressional eye, late-night TV host Jimmy Kimmel told Pelosi that the country had been waiting a long time for Trump’s comeuppance. “Like since the ’70s,” Kimmel said, perhaps referring to the time in 1973 that the Justice Department sued 26-year-old New York landlord Trump for refusing to rent to black tenants.Pelosi held her cards close. “When we go through with our case,” she told Kimmel, “it’s got to be ironclad.
