Reply #58: There is a possibility of impeachment, although I don't think there is a possibility of conviction [View All]

At least not conviction in the Senate, which requires a 2/3 majority vote. I don't think there are seventeen Republicans who would vote for impeachment, and I don't think Lieberman would either. It really does not matter how overwhelming the evidence is, because just look at how many bad bills Republicans have voted for despite overwhelming evidence they were wrong.

That however does not mean we should not pursue impeachment, because once Bush leaves office all that evidence that was accumulated against him in the hearings could be used against him in criminal court.

I don't think Bush will be forcibly removed from office, but I do think there is a good chance he will face some serious consequences for his crimes.
