Reply #77: In January of 1973 (when Nixon was inaugurated for his second term), there [View All]

was not a majority in favor of impeachment either. The mood among the public and the poltiticians to impeach grew during 1973 with the hearings convenend by Sen. Sam Ervin.

By saying "impeachment is off the table", Pelosi et. al. rigged the game. Who knows what Daniel Ellsburgs and John Deans are out there, too scared right now of being "Plame-ed" to speak out? this is what public hearings do; they create a relatively safe space to speak up.

N.B. I will now only vote Democratic, if the candidate is a progressive Democrat. I will no longer vote for Dinos like Harman or Feinstein. And I no longer consider myself a Democrat. I now consider myself a swing voter (between the Democrats when they're progressive and the Socialist Party\Peace and Freedom Party when the Democrat is a war pig like Harman).
