Is anyone else catching the error in John Dean's thinking abt impeachment?

[truedelphi]

He is on Randi Rhoades and is saying that the needed structures by which the House could bring about the impeachment of George Bush are quite lacking.

I agree with him there - I agree there should be a special committee In the House that holds special powers existing for the purpose of impeachment. Otherwise you have to rely on the President to appoint a Special Prosecutor.

But he goes on to say that if Kucinich's move for impeachment takes effect, it will have no purpose, as those subpoenaed can simply avoid coming ina nd testifying.

Now Keith Olbermann has already had someone on his show say that no, the Congress has the authority to send the Sargent at Arms to the home of whomever is subpoenaed and who refuses to come in and testify -- and then the Sergeant at Arms gives them the chance to say they will co0me in, or else they can be put under arrest. This guest of Keith's also mentioned there is a prison inside the basement of the Capital Building where the person or persons can be held. And that if any who have refused Congressional subpoenas so far (Dick Cheney among them) were arrested right now, that they could be held in that basement prison - at least until the next election.
