Marc Cooper is off his rocker again (Impeachment)

[AmericanErrorist]

Impeachment fever has officially broken out, and it makes the avian flu look like a two-day head cold. The primary symptoms are sustained delusional bouts that lead the victims to imagine that a Republican-controlled Congress — on the eve of midterm elections, no less — would actually indict and convict a sitting president from its own party.

The infection first broke out on the Web — the primary cases detected in places like Democrats.com or AfterDowningStreet.org. This week the epidemic has spread to public spaces — to rented church halls and town meetings — where the infected gather and collectively visualize Chief Justice John Roberts putting George W. Bush on trial. If you happen to stumble into one of these gatherings of the infirm, make sure to first put on your hazmat suits. Even a double-dose of Tamiflu will be rendered useless by the ferocity of this disease.

In their delirium, the feverishly infected have forgotten that impeachment is not a legal or moral matter but strictly one of congressional political majorities. Congress doesn’t impeach a president because he did or did not commit high crimes. Nope. You get impeached only if a voting majority in the House despises you enough to bump you off. You can ask Bill Clinton about that one.

However unlikely Impeachment may or may not be, let me point out that Democrats.com, through ImpeachPAC, is doing the hard work of electing a congressional majority that would vote to impeach.

And there I thought impeachment was a constitutional safeguard established to protect the citizenry against abuse of power.

Dang.

2. Impeachment is only for Democratic Presidents who 'lie' about

3. Crap

I take notes constantly, but I just can't keep up with how much of a "living document" the fRepublicans have made of the Constitution.

5. LOL!

The Constitution is "Just a G-d piece of paper!" According to pResident Pinhead, that is.

7. Don't sweat it!

It's "hard werk" keeping up with the very Hypocritical GOP.

4. Problem is, he's right

the Republican Congress will NEVER allow articles of impeachment on to the floor of a majority Congress. And frankly, I don't see many Democrats who have the stones to bring articles of impeachment, outside of the Congressional Black Caucus anyway.
