No New Mexico impeachment, thanks to frightened national Democrats

You may recall several earlier posts of mine noting that the legislature in New Mexico was in the process of approving an impeachment resolution that, if carried and then presented in Washington by one Congressman, would force the House to take up an impeachment debate.

Unfortunately, it seems that squeamish national Democrats who are frightened of their own shadows impeachment proceedings strong-armed some of the New Mexico delegates and got nine Democrats to vote with the Republicans to defeat the measure.

So there will be no impeachment from New Mexico.

The unseen dead hand of national Democratic meddling seems to have killed a promising example of grassroots democratic activism in New Mexico that could have been a model for reviving the Democratic Party nationwide and in that key swing state.
