They are going to impeach Trump, or at least talk about it even if they lack the stones to actually do it. This will tie Congress up for the rest of this year, and maybe a good slice of next year. They won't deal with any of the things they ought to be dealing with. Immigration, copyright and patent reform, passing spending bills before the end of this fiscal year, dropping the magical 50 mpg CAFE standard, allowing import of medicines, eliminating boutique gasoline blends that make it illegal to ship gasoline from one state to another, allowing sale of health insurance in all 50 states, shutting down the highway trust fund now that the interstate highway system is finished, and rolling back political correctness on campus. And probably more stuff that escapes my memory right now.
Not that Congress was doing any of these things, they have more fun trashing Trump. And, now they have the impeachment thing to occupy all their time and energy. The excuse this time is a telephone call between Trump and the newly elected president of Ukraine. Apparently Trump mentioned young Hunter Biden drawing $50K salary PER MONTH, in Ukraine and maybe it should be looked into. Congress has been running an investigation on TV all day talking about procedural issues, like which computer system the transcript was saved on. Apparently there is not much in the way of actual wrongdoing or unethical conduct, so they talk about procedure.
