The numbers are excellent for Tea Party ccandidates to win the Senate, veto proof. An Obama win, a virtual certainty given the failure of conservatives to put up a candidate, will guarantee his impeachment on any number of charges of violating the Constitution. Pressure by the electorate will be unbearable on the Senate to try him and convict him. We will see the first sitting US president in prison for crimes against the state. That is my prediction.
A 2/3 majority is needed for conviction, not just a veto proof majority. We are not going to get near 67 Senators in the next election.
That is my prediction.
Sometimes we all dream.
The millions of people voting for the Tea Party Senate candidates are going to vote for Obama for president? How do you figure?
Not even remotely possible. There are only 47 Republican senators. You need 67 senators to convict on impeachment charges. There are 20 Democrat seats up for grabs. Some (half really) are super-safe like Feinstein in CA. To even entertain the idea that the GOP is going to pick up every contested seat is an epic pipe dream. They’d pay good money for whatever is in that pipe in Feinstein’s hometown.
I dont think an impeachment is likely. Even if we get a bunch of new conservatives in the senate, they’ll still be in the minority. You’ll still have the center left running things, even if they have an “R” after their name.
And then there’s still going to be the weeper running the house. I don’t see him or his cronies having the brass to impeach. He’d probably start boo-hooing the moment it’s suggested.
