“I don’t know as a practical matter it is actually even possible to do an impeachment in the handful of days that are left.

“I mean,” he continued, “It’s not like it’s a Supreme Court Confirmation or anything like that.”

Toomey is no Martin Luther King. The fact that a man like Toomey has said this puts Marco Rubio’s comical attempt to “BothSides” Trump’s depravity and, somehow, straddle some sort of “fence” in a better (and more accurate) light.

“But certainly, he could resign”

Could is an interesting word here. I suppose it leaves rooms for contingencies, like “Fire could be cold,” or “War could be peace.”
