"Its too late for an impeachment..."

This sentiment gets such a pass. We let him walk away, and all the transgressions he has committed become precident.

They say the next congress will get nothing done in the busy election season. Hogwash. Turn up the dial on investigations regarding anything he has done innaapropriatly and for gawd's sake, please get into writing the exact powers and authorities of the Vice President's office.

I don't care if the investigations and possible trials last well into Shrub's retirement. Pull him back from Paraguay or wherever the hell he slinks off to and ride his ass as long as it takes to clear his mess up.

It's not too late for impeachment. Impeachment takes precedence over all other business in Congress. And shutting down all other business in Congress would be better than continuing Business As Usual - a nice side benefit. The real reason we won't get impeachment is that Democrats fundamentally agree with Republicans in the defacto class warfare/coup that is going on.

I just purchased some solar PV today and had the pleasure of myself and the vendor being run through a terrorist database as part of the process. It's my @#$% money - why does the bank have to play informant? Because both Democrats and Republicans in the last days of this empire agree on the clampdown; it's required for the transition to serious tyranny where no transactions will be allowed except between approved entities.

We won't get impeachment because Democrats would have to appear like they were serious about it when they are serious about not doing it because they want the powers. Time is not the problem.

You can impeach officeholders after they leave office. The purpose is to allow criminal prosecution for actions taken under the color of authority.

Rove's potential indictment hinges on some small game played in Alabama over a House seat if I recall correctly. I do so hope that is what is happening, and now if the Democrats would only find the nerve to do what is needed with the rest of them.

If the current crop of Congresscritters were in charge in 1944 our soldiers would never have climbed those cliffs at Normandy ... "Too dangerous!" "We'll take casualties!" "Maybe the Nazis will get nicer as their regime ages!"
