I am wildly excited about the prospects for a Democratic Congress. A mere return to sanity would have been sufficient after Tuesday, and it looks like we'll get more than that from Speaker Pelosi and Majority Leader Reid. All that said, you can already hear the murmurs of discontent from some progressives, alarmed at Pelosi saying that impeachment is not on the table. Maybe it was unwise to take that threat off the table - I don't think so, personally - but I think we all need to acknowledge that impeachment is a non-starter now.
