And… your home state (Indianna) has gone Blue again.

Impeachment? Hmmmm …we can only hope. I still think the dems might be too pussy-arsed to go that hard.

Darp, while it’s counterintuitive, ‘blue’ states are Democrat and ‘red’ states are Repuglican.

Indiana is solidly Repuglican at the moment, but it had a Democrat governor from 1989-2005. The biggest loser in Indiana is Repuglican Representative Dan Burton, a thoroughly arrogant prick who will be re-elected until voters can be convinced he’s really dead.

While Indiana was the last state I lived in before splitting for Aus in 1996, I was not born nor raised there. I was born about 30 miles from Cleveland, Ohio. My politics are unsurprisingly much more similar to those predominant in NE Ohio. I’m basically a liberal Democrat, if you have to label me in US terms.

If the Dems get the Senate, impeachment is in the cards, no doubt. They’ll have the votes to convict. Clinton was impeached but not convicted. If Bush is impeached with the Dems in control of Congress, he’ll be convicted and removed from office.

I want Bush to go to the Hague and Cheney impeached.

I will happily be left with a compliant President Frist.

‘President Frist’ would be utterly terrifying in any other circumstance… but yes, a President Frist under a Dem controlled Congress would be the most compliant little puppy the American xtian right have ever known.

now hang on a minute… if the Prez & VP are both removed from office, the Speaker of the House is next in line… but that’s no longer Bill freakin’ Frist. The Speaker of the House is now Nancy Pelosi.

That’ll be Madame President Pelosi if impeachments roll on. 😆

Takes a 2/3 majority in the Senate to convict though doesn’t it? Congress starts proceedings then the Senate tries them?

I think I have it right.

I don’t get how’d you be able to swing a 2/3 majority with the numbers at 52-50 or whatever.

Weez, is there some arcane Senate proceedure that I’m missing out on here?

Darp, I believe you do have it right.

You’re also right that it would be difficult to get the numbers in the Senate to convict, but stranger things have happened. Not every Repuglican supports King George.
