Reply #36: You still have not presented a reason the committee should even meet! [View All]

Let me remind you that the Constitution says impeachment is for treason, bribery and high crimes and misdemeanors. Anne Coulter of course wrote a book saying that these words should be interpreted loosely and Clinton impeached. That backlashed.

You think Congress should impeach Bush and Cheney, and that a committee should draw up articles of impeachment. Yet you cannot tell me even what in your opinion what Bush and Cheney have done that should be the subject of articles of impeachment. Nobody is going to be convinced that we are not just making a political power play unless some sort of clear "smoking gun" is presented, one that the American public can understand and see is worthy of removing someone from office for. Missing something clear like that, impeaching will just lead to a backlash. Just like it did for the Coulter followers, as strongly as they believed in their cause.

To my knowledge, the only Dem candidate who supports impeachment is Kucinich. The rest of the candidates and unannounced potential candidates such as Gore do not favor impeachement. So I guess you "loathe" them too?

The logical extension of this divisive issue is for lots of eager-beaver impeachment folks bolting the Democratic Party to vote for Nader because none of the Dem candidates are true enough to the impeachment cause....and perhaps we will not make gains in Congress and take back the Presidency in 08. So, I guess the new Republican Congress and President will support the constitution the way you think it should be supported?
