Subject: RE: BS: Cheney Indicted: Arraignment Friday
"Indicted and convicted" Bill D??? Both result from criminal prosecutions don't they? As far as I am aware the only thing that Congress can decide upon is impeachment and the only sanction that can be leveled against the person who has been impeached is that they have to resign from office.

I would agree that over the last 2 years, the majority of politicians in the USA have been focused solely on the 2008 elections, but there have been a few, Dennis Kucinich (The darling and hero of oh so many on this forum) who have been hammering on relentlessly about impeachment - all to no avail. Now if there had been ANY, repeat, ANY evidence upon which to base impeachment proceedings on, don't you think somebody would have found it by now, I mean, come Bill D they've had the best part of 5 years to find it.

One thing is for certain, they couldn't possibly find any grounds relating to the run up to the invasion of Iraq, because it was a Congressional Committee that identified Iraq as posing the greatest potential threat to the USA and advised the President accordingly, they can hardly impeach him for following their own advice, which by the bye, they then voted for use of force.

And sorry SRS, until you come up with some evidence that stands up to the rigours of critical examination and proves guilt beyond any reasonable doubt those men are innocent until proven otherwise - True??. What your opinion of them is doesn't matter a damn.
