Well
To be fair, for Nadler to call his fellow NY City Reps, Yvette Clarke and Anthony Weiner, "on the fringe" is a bit silly. Nadler is someone I like a great deal, but he does seem amazingly thick-headed about this issue, particularly given the Constitutional implications and horrible precedents set by a complacent Congress when a President breaks the law.
As to the challenge, it is hard to see that this is the best way to accomplish it. But for those within his district (as opposed to those who can pressure other Reps) there aren't many options when an otherwise great politician decides to stop listening to some of his most active constituents.
Personally I don't see that Nadler loses anything by joining with Clarke and Weiner on impeachment. I know Congress Critters in far less liberal districts who are supporting impeachment.
