The right wing is out to get Robert Wexler for leading the impeachment drive.
Wexler is the first member of the House Judiciary Committee - the body that would initiate impeachment proceedings - to call for hearings.
Now Wexler faces two self-funded opponents blasting his support for impeachment and a hostile local paper ridiculing Wexler.
Writes Daniel Ellsberg in an e-mail:
Help me support Robert Wexler's re-election. ... If Congressional leaders in 1973 had 'put impeachment off the table,' Nixon would have served out his term -- despite demonstrably criminal behavior-- and he would almost certainly have renewed the bombing of South and North Vietnam through 1976, to no effect other than countless additional deaths. Today, members of Congress have a similar moral challenge – as they weigh their duty to the Constitution against perceived political risk. ...
