Reply #64: I don't think that's true. Even States can begin the impeachment process [View All]

on the federal level. Generally, there's a referral to the Judiciary Committee, then if still alive it goes to the full house for approval to proceed WITH OFFICIAL INVESTIGATION which may or may not end with written articles of impeachment approved by the house.

Moreover, there's plenty of evidence already. Impeachment COULD happen at any time.

I'll say that it seems like the progression of hearings is stimulating more calls for impeachment, which is a good thing. Might be considered a good strategy politically if the public DEMANDED impeachment from its representatives and we might eventually head in that direction. However, I'm not as interested in good political strategy as I am interested in addressing pressing, critical problems that are causing irreversible significant damage. Also...most of the public doesn't follow hearings so I don't know how much we can count on the public demanding impeachment. Best to rely on our reps to follow the law and do what's right...with our encouragement.
