Reply #103: I think everyone knows that the House probably can "impeach"... [View All]

The key is what is done after that? If we rush to impeach him in the House and we don't have an adequate case assembled for the Senate to convict him with, all we have is an empty political gesture that hasn't been thought through.

The key time is that the goal is when the impeachment is done, that is when the REAL battle begins to convict. That is what will require strategy and planning if we want to have something happen there. Some will say that we can never win in the Senate, so why bother worrying about it and just do the impeachment in the House as a good "gesture". I say that I don't think it is a done deal that it will fail in the Senate. I DO think that with the right evidence, we can have the votes to convict Bush in the Senate. It was done with Nixon that forced him to resign. I think it can be done again this time too.
