If Fitzgerald hands down indictments.. does this go to the SCOTUS or

[GreenPartyVoter]

to the Hill?

[Walt Starr]

1. Federal court in D.C.

It only goes to the hill if Cheney and/or Bush are named as unindicted co-conspirators.

[Eric J in MN]

3. Tom DeLay isn't going to start impeachment hearings

against Bush or Cheney if they're indicted.

4. If named as unindicted co-conspirators

Don't place any bets on what a Republican Congress would do. All bets would be off because the entire administration would be toxic.

[Eric J in MN]

6. You mean, if Patrick Fitzgerald announces to the public

that he thinks Bush and Cheney committed crimes, but doesn't ask the grand jury to indict either of them?

Given how quiet Fitzgerald has been, that seems like it would be out-of-character for him.

[Walt Starr]

7. No sitting president or vice president has ever been indicted

Constitutionally, it may not be legal as the Congress is empowered with that ability.

[Eric J in MN]

8. Only the US House can iimpeach, that

doesn't preclude courts from indicting presidents and vice-presidents.

[Eric J in MN]

2. neither in the short term

If the defendants claim their constitutionl rights are being violated, that theoretically might be appealed to the US Supreme Court, eventually.

5. It goes to a jury.

Of course, all kinds of stuff can happen in between *LOL*.
