It's an Impeachment INQUIRY, not impeachment (just yet)

[ksoze]

We are letting the narrative get away with the reference to this current process by some as "impeachment". The vote counting is for the inquiry, not actual impeachment, but the 'inquiry" word gets lost in the fray. This can be letting it look like we are impeaching without an investigation and thats how its portrayed in much media.

1. You don't expect most Americans to understand civics, do you? (n/t)

2. No. Didn't they drop that from the curriculum in the 60's ?

3. Not in the school system where I went to school

I took civics during fall 1990. This was my first intensive exposure to how the government works that was presented to me without Republican slant, the first real exposure to what the parties actually stood for. Perhaps, if not for that class, I'd not be on DU today, as my father and his whole family were and are Republicans. Even my mother's side were conservative Democrats. I am glad i got to take that high school course.
