Reply #15: It's the right thing to do, regardless of the voting outcome. [View All]

There would be 2 trials, so to speak. One in the Senate and 1 in the next election. If, as I believe, the vast majority of Americans support articles of impeachment, then Republicans will vote against the the wishes of the American people at their own peril.

More importantly, an impeachment addresses 2 vital issues-

(1) We are sending a message to the world that we acknowledge the criminal wrong done in our name to the rule of international law.
(2) We are sending a message to future wannabe Cheney's that you trash the Constitution at extreme personal risk. What will future generations say if we abdicate our duty to protect our country against lawless criminals? If this administration's actions do not rise to the level of high crimes and misdemeanors, I don't know what does.
