No doubt Issa is frothing at the mouth to start them impeachment hearings

[rurallib]

Boehner no doubt excited too. But no one can say anything because Republicans are the adult party and it wouldn't be adult to be gleeful when you fuck someone over royally.

1. It's just a matter of time...

They don't want to appear too zealous...

[Ykcutnek]

2. They will manufacture something new.

So they can claim their hands were forced.

Be very suspicious of any major event these next few months.

[JoePhilly]

3. Won't happen.

Sure, the idiots will talk about impeachment, but that's all they will do.

Impeachment requires work, and they won't do that.

[riversedge]

4. I do not think the Repups will go forward with the big I either.

[rurallib]

10. It really gets their rocks off

And they won't do work anyway - they just make stuff up.

6. It will, at the very least, be brought up time and time again

as a veiled threat and to keep the crazies tuned in to fox. At least once a week, if you have the stomach, you will see crawler on fox that goes something like this: "IS THE SENATE ABOUT TO START IMPEACHMENT PROCEEDINGS?"

[onenote]

8. I doubt you'll see references to the Senate starting impeachment hearings

since the Senate has no role until the House votes out articles of impeachment.

[Algernon Moncrieff]

11. I agree -- for about a year

Through 2015, it will be a talking point from time to time. By late '15/early '16, it will be argued even by the Tea party stalwarts that they want to focus on the next Presidency.

7. For the GOP, this time it's not "impeachment." It's a lynching.

[rurallib]

9. I was going to use that word but backed off

thank you. A lynching it will be.

[Lurks Often]

12. There aren't going to be impeachment hearings

unless it is something so heinous that at least 12-14 Democrats/Independents Senators (depending on the final makeup of the Senate) are willing to convict.

[KingCharlemagne]

13. Plus some of the Republican Senators up for re-election in 2016 would have

to think long and hard about whether they wish to hitch their re-election hopes to the Teabilly crazytrain. IIRC, some of those Republican Senators will be defending seats in states either blue (meaning Obama won them in 2008 or 2012) or purple-hewed.
