Make Them stand up on the floor and DEFEND Dick Cheney.

Mwthinks that would be a GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD thing.

Know what I mean???????

no debate.

why is that?

Do you not think anything's changed much in the last six months?

Oh, well. I'm sure the media would find a way not to cover it. Is there a blonde in jeopardy?

They just have to defend 'innocent until proven guilty'.
Where's the hard evidence?
There's innuendo galore, but there's no smoking gun.

gun would not then be revealed?

You can't have an investigation without evidence.
You see all the 5 million White House emails?
You see all the records of visits to the office of the VP.
Its been vaporized.

the evidence would have to be shown or not showing it would be proof that wrong doing had occurred?

In a court of law, simply saying your dog ate what should be seen as evidence is not good enough to a real judge when finding a reason why you can't produce it?

n/t

man they have you.

allowable evidence, and someone saying that someone else said that so and so suggested indirectly ("not in so many words") to position an analysis one way?

I'm not the one that's been had.

Although his emails are missing, there is a paper trail of reports that refutes every BS excuse he testified to for going to war with Iraq. Probably a few other issues as well, but hey, how much do you need?

there's proof of "we screwed up".
"He was wrong" is not an impeachable offense.
"He defrauded" is an impeachable offense.

who has a major responsibility to ensure such emails are accounted for would more than likely laugh in their faces.

The only trouble I see here is getting a real judge, one who cares about ensuring the truth become known.

I think the CIA declared 10 days ago, that they warned the gov't not to use curveball's information. on and on.

So what if there's no "smoking gun" (although in this case I think there are plenty of them!)? So what if the evidence presented said he'd eaten 12 babies when he'd really only eaten 9? If the Senate (a tough audience, if there ever was one) can be convinced to say "You're fired," that's all there is to it.

Who's he gonna appeal to?

I don't think a lot of the standard rules within the legal system strictly apply here, since impeachment doesn't seem to be a legal proceeding as we usually think of one. It seems more like a Board of Directors meeting to decide whether or not to 86 the CEO (or the COO, in DICK's case). And, like most corporations, the "Board" (that would be Congress) doesn't really give a rat's behind what the small "stockholders" (that would be you and me) think.

that have called for articles of impeachment and have offered up their own need to come to you for instruction on the issue of impeachment inquiry and evidence. I'll give them a call and let them know they are wrong.

Gosh...why am I not hopeful of a positive outcome?

.

This is all positive, regardless of the outcome.

with John Conyers as chair.

Be still my heart.

.

I know C-Span was spewing a quote he'd given Faux Noize back about a year ago ... Is this something he said today?

Conyers chairs the committee in the House.

It was the Senate committee that approved Mukasey.

resolution goes to the Conyer's led House judiciary committee. But you're right. They are both hopless--especially considering this resolution has already been in that committee for months.

a whole lot of (D)'s would be doing the defending.

I am the voice of reason

My mistake. Is there a poster here on DU by any chance named "Holy Fuck"? It was apparently addressed to him or her.

That would be a good new direction.

A guy by the name of Bill Clinton was semi impeached because he shot a wad of semen on a Blue Dress worn by a chubby girl named Monica.

I know it's a bit of a stretch, but, I'm kinda guessin we can come up with something here.

Anybody??

:spray:

I keep hearing how dumb/stupid/punked the Democrats looked today.

All because Dennis Kucinich brought up a Resolution to impeach Dick Cheney.

So tell me then.

If impeachment of Cheney were to actually happen, How would it start???

Apparently, there's some other way I have as yet to hear about.

Prayer mebbe??

what will they be holding?


bet it won't be his coattails.
