Roberts is supposed to "PROTECT" Bush from the Impeachment.

[IdaBriggs]

Also, Roberts knows where some of the bodies are buried (figuratively speaking -- I think). Bush is officially running scared, and this is a blatant attempt to begin stacking the court so he doesn't have to worry about "impeachment" or other prosecution.

Any idea why no one in the Main Stream Media followed up on the Roberts illegal adoptions? The ones where "adoption law" is really just for the LITTLE people? Modem Butterfly had some good research on it.

1. With a Repuke House Impeachment is a pipe dream.

Why even think about it? I have a better chance of hitting the Lottery.

3. I don't know about you, but I think it's slowly becoming a probability.

When you say, "Why even think about it?" you become an enabler. You can't do that. It's too often that people around here use "We can't win" as an excuse not to fight. That's the wrong thing to do. You never know something until you try.

8. Direct your energy to the do-able.

Try reality.

How about verifiable paper ballots?

9. There is some truth to what you say,

but think of it this way. Your chances of winning that lottery may have just increased markedly now that tens of thousands of former Louisiana and Mississippi residents have just been shafted and shafted hard by BushCo and are not, I'm sure, ever likely to forget about it - certainly not before the upcoming congressional elections next year. And of course many, myself included, will join them in their outrage when we all gather at the polling places. I will admit, however, that Diebold could effectively counter our efforts. One must remember that free elections in this country largely went the way of the dinosaur back in 2000. Still, I think it would be a good deal harder to fix the elections of many congressional candidates than to fix the election of a single president (or in Dubya's case, a single pResident).

In summary, while it is surely tragic that it could take something like Katrina to wake the voters of this country up, this devastating storm may in fact ultimately do just that. In the aftermath of the death, destruction, and untold needless suffering stemming from Bushco's slow response to this disaster and its funding cuts for the improvement of the levees, I think that with the 2006 elections just around the corner impeachment is not necessarily as far fetched a concept as it once might have been. Hold on to that lottery ticket, my friend. You just might have a winner.

2. I don't think he can.

Only Congress can impeach.

[Catch22Dem]

4. The SCOTUS is not involved in impeachment (n/t)

[MADem]

6. The chief justice presides over the actual trial

But the House brings the charges, basically.

A Democratic Congress (06!!!!!) could do it, and probably have help from moderate Republicans.

The incompetence is absolutely fetid--it is starting to stink from DC to the Heartland, and on to the shining Pacific.

I see where the Chimp has had to ruin his Labor Day Weekend by going to Baton Rouge...still too frightened to show his chickenshit ass in NOLA--no South African exchange students to hug there.

7. The Chief Justice rules over the Impeachment Trial

Remember Reinquist and his fancy robes with his own sargeant stripes sewed on it?

5. Well, it won't matter

unless we gain control of congress.
