That is why our +4 in the Senate was so huge. The RATs would love nothing more than to impeach W, but they simply do not have enough votes to even make a credible attempt.

The Senate does not have a role in the impeachment process. That is entirely a House matter.

The Senate can only act to remove or acquit AFTER the House has impeached the president.

Yes, but that's the point. If you already KNOW the Senate will do nothing, why even bother to TRY stirring up the House?

Yeah, but the RATs are unlikely to try this when they know there will not be enough Senate votes to convict.
