A few bad ideas that some peddle, usually in the guise of a class, radical approach:

1. To explain the present impeachment fight as no more than an expression of an inter-imperialist rivalry between Russia and the U.S. over control of Ukraine.

2. To criticize the Democrats for supposedly reducing the stakes of impeachment to simply a national security issue.

3. To argue that a “real” approach to impeachment would throw “everything but the kitchen sink” into the articles of impeachment that the House Judiciary Committee is now drawing up.
