Thanks for telling me what I want or don’t want.
I raised a simple question to which no one has an answer or even attempts to speculate about an answer. They want to change the subject. Actually there was one answer -— blackmail 13 RAT senators. There is probably plenty of blackmail material available but it is probably not a plan that would work without people going to jail for attempted blackmail. Remember who controls the Justice Dept.
Yes, we can certainly make a convincing case. He deserves to be impeached. No chief exec ever has committed such violations of Constitutional duty. Please help me understand how we get to the 67 votes necessary to convict. That is a simple request no one wants to answer. Instead, I get crap posts coming back at me.
I have a simple straightforward approach. But, for it to have a chance to be effective, we must still have faith in at least some of our fellow citizens: from all across the political spectrum, all walks of life, basically your average Joe & Jane Sixpack, to the extent that they still exist in great enough numbers.
The approach is simple:
1. Make the legal case, thoroughly & in great detail.
2. Wage the mother of all PR campaigns, take the message directly to the people in whatever way possible. Make the "news," don't sit back and wait for favorable coverage (for it will never come).
3. Rely on our fellow citizens (as noted above) to process & comprehend the situation and circumstances; let their anger boil. Hopefully, enough of them will start to demand that their Reps & Senators take action.
4. Rely on what virtually all of these Senators want in the end: to remain in office. If they believe that their re-election is in jeopardy, there is a good chance that they will vote to convict, regardless if they wear the "R" or the "D" label on their back.
Like I said above, it rests largely with the composition of our fellow Americans.... are there enough of them that can be roused out of their slumber and spurned to action (i.e., pressure to convict)? I honestly don't know. But what I do know, their numbers won't be increasing as time marches on....
Even though the process would likely wind on to the point that his conviction may occur within a few months of the end of his term, if we as a country cannot force our elected representatives to use their Constitutional powers (which they swear to uphold) to STOP a tyrannical Executive in 2014/15, what are our prospects like for dealing with this down the road??
To a certain extent, it's Now, or Never....
Oh, and of course, the other contingency in this simple plan is that we actually have the right people in the GOP to actually want to make the case convincingly; I honestly don't know if that is a valid assumption at the present.
