Reply #14: Well at least I understand the angle now. They say it's all a big setup

And um, yeah, maybe, I can't say it's not. But this is an important position and it's not one Hastings has an inalienable right to. After all, his innocence depends on an argument that says, a 2/3rds+ majority of US senators were chumps and tools regarding Hastings' case. Besides, judges are held to such a high standard that impeachment is only for removal, and there's separate, reasonable doubt criminal trials to which all citizens are (used to be..) entitled to.

I guess the bottom line is, the Senate said this stunk too much to ignore, no matter what could be proved or not in court. Can the House ignore the scent today?
