Battle looms in Congress over money for Trump's border wallalso
Despite the Democrat victory in the House, impeaching Trump remains practically impossible. Here’s why it should be considered anyway....
It might not necessarily have to come to that, though. An impeachment resolution may never be able to hope to muster enough votes to have any chance of passing the Republicans in the Senate, but if done right, it nonetheless would present plenty of juicy opportunities for the Democrats to make life extremely difficult for the president and his party.
There are two main reasons why. The first is the power to issue subpoenas – summonses backed by the force of law – and the second one is the power of political spectacle....
Trump has defied all the laws of political gravity so far by simply bluffing or outright lying his way out of every situation he has faced. So far, preposterously, he’s always been able to get away with it. But imagine him under oath, facing real cross-examination from a skilled lawyer – live on TV in front of the whole world. Maybe he’d find a way to slip out of it, but maybe also he would finally come apart, collapse in on himself under the weight of his lies, like a dying star.…And don't forget, lying is what caught Bill Clinton.

The party that controls the presidency and Senate controls the judiciary, which involves lifetime appointments. All judges are "activists" in that everyone has an ideology that shapes their worldview and normative criteria.
