235. I think where we differ
is that I don't believe we are clinging to the status quo. There ARE wheels in motion here, though they are not flashy and they don't provide a catharsis of emotion to those who are frustrated with BushCo.

But I was exceptionally frustrated with the harassing investigations that the Repugs did to Clinton, more than the impeachment. Impeachment was news but everyone knew they weren't going to remove him. It was really almost a relief when they did start impeachment, because between the harassment and the investigations and leaking embarrassing info about Clinton to the press every other day, I was ready to scream.

Believe me, the Repugs are already frustrated with the ongoing investigations into BushCo, the ones that they blocked when they were the majority power. Now they can't block, they can't retaliate, they can't stop what is going on, and every day brings more bad news that they have to try to put the best face on.

This is working, far more than the more flashy impeachment proceedings.
