Your point?
If you can believe this garbage gets front page coverage online @ seattlepi.com. Don’t know why I still read this rag.
“Impeachment” is this woman’s “hobby.” Get a life, Linda Boyd! She’s confusing “impotent” with “important.” LOL!
WA State Impeachment Summary: Conversation with Linda Boyd

Section: Washington State Topic: Impeachment
I called Linda Boyd for an update on Washington state impeachment news today. Linda’s the Director of the Eastside Fellowship of Reconciliation and a lead activist on impeachment in the state. I’ve been seeing a lot of impeachment email going back and forth, I said. Is something going on? Actually, she answered, there is some news today. ‘I’m about to send out a press release, but you can break the story: there’s a debate on impeachment scheduled for the floor of the Senate on the morning of Thursday, April 19. We’ll be having a huge rally on the same day.’ Is the debate on the impeachment investigation bill SJM 8016? No, she answered, 8016 didn’t make it out of committee in time to pass. But there is hope that we will get a vote on a Senate resolution.
As the House Rules for Impeachment in Jefferson’s Manual provide, impeachment proceedings can be begun in the US House with charges transmitted from the legislature of a State (document from Eastside FOR’s Impeachment page). I asked Linda if a resolution would work as well as a Senate Joint Memorial. She said she wasn’t sure what the difference would be between a State Resolution such as New Mexico’s, and a Joint Memorial, as in Washington State. But a Senate Resolution does not have the power of a Joint Memorial. The latter would hopefully initiate impeachment proceedings in Congress. However, Washington has provided hope and leadership for impeachment through State Legislatures across the country. And we’re continuing to keep impeachment “on the table” until the job is done. On April 19th we will finally have our day in court, and we know that the folks in the other Washington will be listening.* In the film below the fold, Bill Moyer of The Backbone Campaign, explains the Jefferson Manual rules to an aide of Governor Gregoire this past March 12, as he respectfully and ceremoniously transmits a “spineless” citation to the Governor. The charge on the citation: “interfering in an effort in the Washington State Legislature to send a Joint Memorial to the US Congress requesting ‘Investigation for Impeachment’ of George Bush and Dick Cheney”. Also see Moyer’s Washblog story: Have Inslee and Murray forgotten where their power originates?

Me either. Save your money for something more worthwhile. Like retirement. The west coast and the east coast could fall off into their respective oceans and I wouldn’t miss them a bit. I’m moving southwest where being an American is still okay.
The impeachment was over years ago.
We won. Clinton was impeached
Forget impeachment, it takes too long. Just put Hillary straight into prison now.
To think, this ‘opinion piece’ made the front page of the Seattle PI, and with pictures, too!
On another note, the left coast’s other area of high moonbattery, S.F., has discussions like this on it’s 49er’s blog page. When there’s nothing you can say about your team other than “they stink”, you talk politics:
