I spent the day working, but had the impeachment trial going on in the background and stopped regularly to follow it. Our old expectation of the American political system was that it was going to shed credibility its functions became increasingly obvious. What's striking to me about the present stage is that almost no sentient observer can seriously muster much confidence in the entire process. The virtual absence of an independent Left has been a tragic feature of our politics for decades, but it has never been more painfully acute than it now is.
