The news that the House will open an inquiry into impeachment proceedings against 45 is as welcome as rain on parched earth. The arrogant Twitter-thumbed buffoon in the Oval Office (or more likely on the golf course) has been flaunting his 'executive privilege' like an out-of-control two year old in search of boundaries. An inquiry is just a prologue to impeachment -- and may not get that far. And even if articles of impeachment are taken up, whether or not the Republican-controlled Senate would vote this bum out is doubtful. Still, at some point, as more and more incontrovertible evidence of 45's sleazy/irrational/traitorous behavior becomes is aired, the Senate Republicans, like rats abandoning a sinking ship, may discover a loyalty to the country, rather than their party. It's a long shot. And I understand Pelosi's reluctance to leap in without an assured outcome. But really, enough is enough. And I keep thinking of the Longfellow quote: "Though the mills of God grind slowly, yet they grind exceeding small." May it be so.
