Reply #47: What madokie is suggesting is that the system might actually work.

But I'm speaking for myself. There may be a point, beyond which Republicans have to consider something other than the party line. Confronted with the actual evidence, laid out in an impeachment hearing, it just may be too difficult for Republicans to deny reality. Historic records will show their malfeasance, and there could be political consequences.

Risks? There are some. What's the downside? Backlash? Sure Clinton benefited, but White House and Congress still went to Republicans. I think the evidence is overwhelming, and the charges are damning. Why worry about future impeachments when we need it now? Will there be worse than Bush? There more likely will if we don't impeach this bastard now!
