Yea or nay on impeachment: USA TODAY Opinion contributors take sides
Visalia Times Delta – Dec. 17
Would you take to trial a case you could never win — even if you could prove the suspect was guilty beyond a doubt? That is the dilemma facing the House.

Joyce White Vance is a former U.S. attorney in the Northern District of Alabama and a law professor at the University of Alabama School of Law.
