Reply #40: Reality 101: The "2/3 Needed" excuse is just the "lynch mob" rationalzation [View All]

[Senator]

The notion that we shouldn't arrest and prosecute lynchings because the all-white juries will never convict. It makes one part of the mob after the fact.

But the reality is not so simple. The reality is that war crimes are on the table. Warner, McCain, and Graham have already refused to become party to "redefining" Geneva. And if the Repubs are smart, they'll opt not to publicly defend war criminals and then try to get re-elected on that record.

The political reality is that it need never get to the Senate trial stage, and likely wouldn't. Should the LieberDems decide to live up to oaths they just took, the Repubs would easily arrange a "Nixon option" that replaces Cheney prior to a bushkid resignation. Do you imagine that they'd rather risk a Pelosi presidency, even for a week?

Only Impeachment... can put the GOP on the run for a change.

Impeachment IS our positive agenda.

It is our ONLY moral, patriotic option.
