Reply #22: it takes 67 votes in the Senate to convict. (2/3) But that's not the point. The point is [View All]

to actually bring proceedings against the pres and the VP.

That they have acted in a criminal and unconstitutional manner is not in dispute.

The Dems have no problems introducing many bills that either will be filibustered and stopped in the Senate or vetoed by bush, so the success of introducing, and passing bills into law isn't apparently relevant. The time tables concerning Iraq as well as the upcoming stem cell bill are just two examples of many that the Dems are happy to push even though they know full well they will either be stopped in the Senate or vetoed by bush.

Success isn't an issue, except when it comes to impeachment. Only in that area is guaranteed success somehow relevant.

What's up with that?

I think putting bush/chaney into the defendant's chair is in itself a huge success.
