I have a hard time taking the “impeach Trump” cries seriously. It seems like more fevered leftist fantasies, along the lines of the “Hamilton Electors” or the PA / MI / WI recounts or Sheila Jackson Lee’s objections to the certification, and about as likely to succeed, but it is entertaining, so please continue. In fact, the effort to persuade electors to go faithless was also presented as an “escape hatch” at the time.

In hindsight, does that look like a silly waste of time to you, or do you think it was a net positive?
