NEW VOICE COLUMN UP...

...about the "conservative reform" conversations that were taking place in the royal box while the groundlings were yelling BENGHAZI LIES and IMPEACH. Speaking of which, the libertarians who figure prominently in these discussions -- as avatars of conservatism with the gloves off, so to speak -- also bring us this, at Reason:

Should Obama Be Impeached?
We’ve had too few impeachments in American history, not too many... 

I'm not convinced that any of President Obama's recent scandal eruptions constitute an "impeachable moment." But...

Already it's gold.

...surely something's gone wrong with our constitutional culture when opinion leaders treat the very invocation of the "I-word" as akin to screaming obscenities in a church.

Similarly, why do people talk about "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants" as if it's something we can't just do right here right now? It ain't freedom till we do some waterin'! This is the kind of apocalyptic mentality you drum up when you want something x-treme to happen before anyone thinks too much about it.
