Democrats' calls for Trump's impeachment are tacky, silly

He was never going to enjoy a long honeymoon with Congress. But no one expected Democrats to try breaking up with President Trump this early. After calling for an investigation of the travel ban, at least one member has suggested that impeachment might be in order.

Democrats should tread carefully, though, especially this early into the Trump administration. Though good for attention, idle impeachment threats are bad for politics. A flippant call for ousting the president could just as easily backfire.
