The articles of impeachment, she said, can be written overnight on a cocktail napkin.Which is appropriate, since that's about how far they'll get. And also quite fitting, since the writer is effectively in a drunken stupor induced by a near-lethal dose of ABD.
Ssshhhh!
Let the stupid jerks talk and plot all they want.
They don’t understand that impeachment is a constitutionally-driven legislative process. The impeachment fanatics don’t understand that THEY don’t get make stuff (or rules) up once it comes into the House. There are established rules and procedures for how things are done. Everything takes time and votes. A lot of votes.
The House Democrats can’t even come up with the votes needed to force a time line be inserted into an Iraq supplemental bill and make it stick. How are they going to come up with the 2/3rds majority needed to pass a bill of impeachment? And if they did, how are the Senate Democrats going to convict with a 50 vote “majority?”
So let the flamers like Kucinich, and Conners, and Waters, etc. rant and rail all they want to. Let them file their articles with the Clerk of the House. Let them keep the left wing/liberal fringe spun up so high that they waste all their time on trying to make the impossible possible. (Instead of going out and causing real trouble.)
This issue is a dead letter and the Democratic leadership knows it. IMO, the only reason that they (the Democratic leadership) lets it go on is because: 1) it worries the Republicans (and that can’t be all bad), and 2) it keeps the lunatics in their own party diverted and out of the way.
