Just have every committee work on their expertise, get the documents, have folks testify. The inquiries will proceed at their own pace and information will keep coming out for years. Motto: Remember Benghazi.

That's something that will hit closer to home. Also the rage from the left and women is very real.

Democrats don’t want to appear partisan, vindictive, or out to ‘get Trump.’

The best course of action is to pass important, common sense legislation, even though we know it won’t pass in the Senate – legislation such as immigration reform (codifying DACA, for example).

We want to demonstrate that Democrats are capable of sound, responsible governance, unlike the do-nothing Republican Senate and dysfunctional Republican WH.

We have to be pragmatic in our approach. Some won’t agree with that however hitting the hornets nest is a bad idea. We can’t give more fuel to the opposition to burn us.

It would be my greatest fantasy to be able to impeach Kavanaugh and put Trump in jail.

I believe those actions would stoke the fires on the Republican base to try to overwhelm in 2020. We can’t have four more years of the Trump Crime Syndicate in power.

health care, infrastructure, aggressively addressing the damage caused by climate change and, if we take the Senate, too, expanding the USSC with progressive judges -- such as Clinton and Obama for starters????

and stop them.

That might mean indictments or impeachment. Whatever. I just want to stand behind truth.
