Does Pelosi realize the power she now has?

If she called a press conference and just said, "Impeachment is now back on the table!"

We might get some response.

3. There have been grounds for impeachment for a long time.

If they were going to try it, they already would have done so.

5. I don't see where she has the power to take impeachment "off the table"

She took an oath to uphold the constitution. Taking impeachment off the table violates that oath.

7. Nancy's "New Direction for America" just looks like more of the same old stuff to me.

She's enabling Bush to continue to do his dirty deeds, like legalizing spying on Americans.

And funding the war in Iraq, which was based on lies intentionally told to Congress and the American people in order to start the war.

Subpoenas go ignored.

Did the Dems win in November '06? I'd hardly noticed.

(Yes, I know of the good things they've done. But they haven't even touched the surface of the big issues facing this country.)

6. She could go in front of national TV and call for a nationwide strike like the Ukrainians did.

Stop everything until Bush breaks and agrees to end the damn war.

8. Will people keep voting her, or will they vote for someone else?

9. She seems complicit to me.

The only power we have is our votes. And then, maybe.
