Reply #75: Doesn't apply?

[longship]

The Jordan quote I cite only applies to the careful deliberation and investigations which are required before taking on such a serious business as impeaching a President. You ignored it not because it doesn't apply, but because some people here want Dems to jump the shark and start impeachment inquiries before any investigations are begun.

Sorry, pat_k, that just ain't gonna happen. And the crisis in 1974 was very serious. We had a President who deliberately caused the most serious Constitutional crisis since the Civil War. He suborned any number of serious crimes. There were plenty of worries about his emotional stability and his ability to continue governing.

I know that Chimp is just as bad, maybe even worse. However, there will be no impeachment inquiries until there are investigations, nor should there be. The people will not support it. Not yet.

Hang in there, pat_k. I am convinced that it will happen, and happen quickly. I'd put good money on Bush being either removed or resigned by the end of next year. Things are going to move quickly in January. Revelations will shock the people. It will happen. But we have to let it happen "organically" (as some have said). Please keep the faith. The world has changed.
