Reply #28: Whether or not the Senate votes to remove does NOT preclude impeachment.

[TahitiNut]

Some degree of political justice (and history) is served merely by voting Articles of Impeachment in the House. The trial in the Senate would put each Senator on the record ... and the enormous hypocrisy of each would be laid bare if they thought a deceptive answer about a blow-job were more serious than the 3,400 lives of American troops, the violations of the Constitution, the BILLIONS in costs, and the violations of habeas corpus, not to mention the rest of the abominable abuses of authority. LIES.

The failure to even begin is a cowardly abandonment of the principles of a democracy and a violation of the affirmative duties of each office-holder to "protect and defend" the Constitution. It's complicity ... and (imho) the darkest days in the history of Congress.
