have to do to get rid of him.

{{{insert eye roll here}}}

There isn't this great groundswell of decency in America. There are plenty of haters afoot. Some of them even stop by here every now and again, but Thanks Be To MIRT they usually don't manage to stay for very long.

If there was a shred of decency left, Donald Trump would have been laughed out of the primaries in the summer. Sadly, there is a very vocal minority in this country that wishes to hold on to the dying gasps of segregation and white supremacy that has latched on to Trumps campaign as a savior to restore all that is "White in America"...err I mean "Right in America" or "Make America White Again"...damn I meant "...Great Again"

has ever been impeached for judicial performance. He was acquitted. That was in 1803.
Several justices have had motions for impeachment forwarded - all for misconduct - but none went to impeachment.

The Constitution is so vague on this issue as to be useless, and Congress is apparently terrified of suggesting that the judicial performance of any SC justice is grounds for removal.

The House of Representatives indicts the accused on articles of impeachment, and, if impeached, the Senate conducts a trial to determine the party's guilt or innocence.

Impeachment is a two-step process; the impeachment phase is similar to a Grand Jury hearing, where charges (called "articles of impeachment&quot are presented and the House of Representatives determines whether the evidence is sufficient to warrant a trial. If the House vote passes by a simple majority, the defendant is "impeached," and proceeds to trial in the Senate.

Republicans love the guy.

He's one of theirs. OTOH, let's say that if Justice Sotomayor made offhand remarks about Italians being mob connected, she'd be impeached before the ink on the articles of impeachment have had a chance to dry.

Hypocrisy is the water they swim in.

every politician needs to say something about this.Then they need to start impeachment proceedings or whatever is necessary to get him removed.

He's had Obama's back every step of the way.

way back when......
Thank you Senator!

and wish I had posted the link I read earlier...I reviewed "a" roll call-I was searching for this particular vote and assumed I had found it..I should have double checked What I was looking at...now that I cannot even find that site again. At this juncture I must accept I have erred...
I am always curious about the "long-timers" past positions.....
I apologize.

He was confirmed 98-0 with two not voting. The confirmation was in 1986, but Reid didn't start in the Senate until the following year.

Welcome to Oregon

hangout - the Hundred Mile Cafe. And my gardening tools,too. I come from Akron, Ohio originally - less days of sunshine per year than Seattle. I love tramping through the woods in rain.

I just can't hardly wait.

Safe travels when the time comes

one of the best places for seeds (gardening) is Territorial Seeds- not too far south of where you'll be-about 20 miles.
May 15th is the target planting dates locally...so, if you know where you'll be...you can have your garden planned and ready to go
There is a lot of great fishing spots...rivers/lakes/ponds/ocean. You'll never get bored around here

...wears his white robe with the pointy hat to work.

...would be more in line with his views and decisions.

He has done everything possible to try to ensure that Obama fails at almost everything. He's from Kentucky. He is old. Leader of radical right wing southern Republicans.

...still land a good punch. Well done, Senator Reid.

He has exposed the reality and the ugliness of the Republican Party.

But he has also tarnished our image in the world, whether we like it or not.

And here are my questions: What if he wins the GOP nomination? And what if he then goes on to win (or steal) the presidency?

Yeah, like you, I think it's unlikely. Nonetheless ...

So let's take this "... good for the presidential race" with a grain of salt.

NOT in a thousand years. A waste of everybody's time. Like ( I think) Nitram wrote earlier, the GOP loves this guy.

... the outgoing senior Senator from Nevada deserves a share of President Truman's nickname -

"Give 'em hell, Harry!"

and he doesn't live a healthy lifestyle. At some point he will need to be replaced, and I hope there is a Dem in the white house to appoint his replacement.

He should have been impeached already!

and it is a lot, I do appreciate that he brought argle-bargle back into general usage.

for a lifetime.
