Why is everyone suddenly talking about impeachment?
The idea of impeaching President Obama is deeply unpopular with the American people. Republican Speaker of the House John Boehner has dismissed the possibility, calling it “a scam started by Democrats at the White House.”
Indeed Democrats have been mentioning impeachment quite a bit themselves. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has gone into into overdrive with fundraising e-mails raising the specter of impeachment. It is transparently using fear to motivate the party’s base to contribute (*).
