It is not about conviction, it is about the truth. This is the only way to get it out and once he is in the low 30s don’t count out 67.
The article is illogical as is the argument. Impeachment is not about justice, it is a political remedy. In politics, truth is very much a bystander. The actors are all politicians and they will behave in a political fashion, not as a legal proceeding.
As for impeachment itself, if Articles of Impeachment are delivered by the House, the Senate must sit in a trial and it form and function changes, but it’s makeup does not. As in the Clinton impeachment, a Senate trial can end without examination of evidence, and without a vote on the Articles, so what is left is political theater where the other side has every opportunity to write their own script. The outcome is predetermined by the political will of the parties involved and the Republicans are incapable of delivering a single Democrat vote and cannot deliver all of their own votes to boot.
Impeachment is a pathway to failure that can only serve to bolster Obama. Obama understands this, the media understands this. Many conservatives choose to believe in a fantasy that can never be.
Please.
Obama could drop to the 20s and still not one democrat will vote to remove him from office. They’re perfectly fine with the collapse of the country, so long as they think they’ll get to rule what’s left. To those people, the PARTY’s interests rule the day, not those of the country.
