Why Impeachment is ultimately doomed:

Advertisements [?]

Two words:

John Roberts

Yes, the House can and should Impeach the President. However once Impeachment moves to the Senate, (Where it is unlikely to make much headway anyway) the presiding official in the trial of the President is the Chief Justice of the United States, John Roberts. We all know Mr. Roberts right? Corporate lawyer for major transnational corporations, one of the members of the Bush legal team in Florida in 2000? How likely is it that this guy will screw over his boss who managed to place him at the head of the Judiciary branch for as long as he wants to be there?

The House can impeach, but lets not kid ourselves, there's no way this could ever get any further with the current crook at the head of SCOTUS.
