For Pete’s sake, an impeachment proceeding is not a political proceeding. Are all trials merely the voting of the jurors? Of course not. There has to be an investigation done first. An impeachment consists of several phases. We all realize that the Democrat Senators are Democrats before they are Americans. They will probably not vote their conscience, but how the party leadership tells them to vote. Our legal system does not guarantee justice. It only guarantees the opportunity for justice. Obama is my employee. It appears that he may have been involved in some wrongdoings. I want to know if he has because I don’t want to keep paying a crook. An impeachment proceeding provides a fair and disciplined means to look into the President’s behavior. I want a disciplined investigation into what our employees have been doing.
Of course it is. Law is a political proceeding at this stage. Look at the various systems of law in any big city.
The GOP is backing away from this, fast, because if they don’t it will cost them the election in 2014. There is little to no upside to this for the GOP, and a lot in letting things stand.
