The conservative case against impeaching Joe Biden

To begin with only the most obvious argument, the numbers don’t add up. The slim Republican House majority might approve articles of impeachment in a strict party-line vote, but this is far from guaranteed. As McCarthy demonstrated with his painful speakership bid, it takes only a handful of dissenters to derail an entire project. …

The plain fact is that impeachment, a constitutional provision used only a couple of dozen times in the history of the Republic, has become little more than a partisan political weapon. Not even a well-considered legal case against Biden is likely to sway congressional Democrats to support his removal. The most incontrovertible evidence against the president would take a backseat to the primacy of the progressive ideology that controls the Democratic Party. As long as Biden is reliably following that ideology, Democrats will never opt to impeach. In fact, they’ll field any excuse to keep him in power, just as they do every time they are confronted by questions about his obvious cognitive decline. The mainstream media will also cover for Biden, either explaining away any charge or simply burying the story, as they did with Hunter Biden’s incriminating laptop prior to the 2020 presidential election.

While impeachment proceedings would certainly embarrass Biden and temporarily distract his administration, it is virtually guaranteed he will remain in office. Then, as both Trump and Bill Clinton did on a total of three occasions, he’ll be able to net a victory over his partisan opponents, who will have failed to employ the only constitutional option to oust him.
