Will President Donald Trump be impeached? This column previously discussed that for Democrats, Trump’s impeachment and removal from office may not be the best political alternative. However, following the controversy surrounding the president’s unwillingness to denounce white supremacists and neo-Nazis with strong enough rhetoric, many Democrats may not care about the political consequences. They may let their hysteria cloud their judgment and put aside their political goals to remove the alleged white supremacist enabler.

Events in Charlottesville, Virginia, together with warnings of a “battlefield” in Gainesville provide ample reason to halt the event. Fuchs was also right to emphasize that personally, he finds Spencer’s rhetoric “repugnant and counter to everything this nation stands for.” But though safety issues and not Spencer’s ideas comprised the reason for the cancellation, Spencer is considering a lawsuit, arguing that UF is using safety as a pretext to limit free speech. In a similar case this year, Auburn University allowed Spencer to speak rather than face a court battle.
I don’t mean to get sappy or sentimental right off the bat, but today marks the first day of my last year of college, so maybe I can’t help it. Although it may sound cliche, I realize with each new semester how much, however slight, I’ve changed from the last, and I try to recognize what I want to do differently each time around. Indeed, senior year seems to lend that idea even more gravity.
