Exactly so—impeachment was a partisan weapon in 18th-century Britain, and our Constitution’s Framers did not want it used that way.
@ToryAnarchist The convention notes make it's clear, they thought impeachment as practiced at the time in the English parliament made ministers too tied to parliamentary good will and that led to corruption and leading to minister slaveishly deferring to the powers that shaped parliament.

If the Framers had intended impeachment to be used often, they would have made the process much easier. They made it almost impossibly difficult for a reason.
This is correct. We don’t impeach presidents often enough. Congress’s failure to use the impeachment power as intended upends the Framers’ carefully crafted system of separated powers and checks and balances.

Aren’t professors who inflate grades a bigger part of the problem than students who demand inflation? Who’s the adult here? A tenured celebrity academic doesn’t need flocks of students who can’t meet standards—but he wants them.
Also noted is that I used to give 25% of my students A or A-. To stanch the exodus, I've had to raise that to 60%.

This is true. Leftists don’t need children of their own if you let them educate yours.
This won't translate into a more conservative future, because the left primarily reproduces asexually -- by controlling the institutions, it reproduces like parasitic wasps, laying the eggs of leftism in the minds of kids from non-leftist families, which then burst out later.

It’s not as simple as communism versus the free market.
