As the Democrat-controlled House Judiciary Committee has approved its two articles of impeachment against President Trump, I decided to do something too few pundits will, unfortunately, bother with before shooting off tweets or writing up hot takes. I read the actual text of the articles of impeachment. Twice.

I’m walking away utterly unconvinced. I’m not exactly a big fan of Trump, but I just don’t see anything in the Democrats’ case for impeachment that comes even close to meeting the high threshold warranting the removal of a sitting president. To preempt the will of the electorate from being heard in 2020 over the charges described in these articles would be ludicrous.
