@jbouie Yeah, I suppose I don't I agree—I think removing an elected official is a huge step in a democracy, so I think Congress should weigh whether there other remedies (e.g. a forthcoming election with the official on the ballot) as well as strongly consider public opinion (polls etc.) — PolitiTweet.org

IMO the Supreme Court example cuts in the opposite way. By denying Garland a fair hearing, Republicans were essentially cutting Obama's term short—which is what Democrats would be doing by impeaching Trump. — PolitiTweet.org

Old enough to remember when "there's an election coming up" was used to steal a Supreme Court seat https://t.co/z18niYTMfU

@MarkHarrisNYC @jbouie I'm obviously not a constitutional scholar but IMO impeachment would be a better remedy in cases like these: 1. The official wasn't elected (e.g. SCOTUS judge) 2. A clear majority of the public wants the official removed, espeically if no election soon or official is a lame duck. — PolitiTweet.org
