Dornan lost his seat two years ago because of what he claimed was voter fraud by noncitizens. His challenge of the results failed. JLA, you are saying that there was proven fraud here? sfgate.com

You are totally dreaming. I cannot be done quickly. A deal could be done quickly. Dropping it and going to censure (with or without Clinton's involvement) could be done quickly. But voting for impeachment in the Senate cannot be done quickly. The House could impeach quickly if they wanted to take the hit. The hit would be pretty bad. But the Senate cannot. Can't be done. All sorts of Senate rules. Filabustering. Any attempt to railroad would backfire horribly. (If they tried to railroad without either a "plea bargain" or extensive an even handed review of the evidence, with the full opportunity for the Pres. to make his case). The Repubs would really, really suffer. The result would be that Repubs either completely surrendered to get it over quickly, or would be crucified by a horribly drawn out process for which they would get nearly all the blame. Impeachment in the Senate is dead. Probably the House as well. It's a nuclear waste dump for Republicans. They now know it, most of them. Doug

"Rep. Henry Hyde, an Illinois Republican and chairman of the Judiciary Committee that will conduct the inquiry, said in a statement the committee had ''a clear constitutional duty to complete its work in a fair and expeditious manner. This was just as true before the election as it is today.'' ================= Hyde knew enough to say this a day after the election. Had he said it a day before the election, the Republicans would have lost twice as bad as they did. If Hyde would have run this time, he would have joined D'Mato in defeat and he will be defeated next time. It is clear that the American people by about a 70% margin don't want the impeachment process to continue. It is obvious now that the Republican leadership has a partisan agenda of its own, regardless of the vote of the people. They can't get elected the legitimate way so they try to overturn the elections with dirty tactics and unfair purely political strategies. Voters are not as dumb as you wrote in your post 12910 ("... If they do it quickly, the electorate being as dumb as it apparently is will forget the whole thing by the time the next election rolls around. JLA"). We will remember it clearly and get rid of the rest of the guys who forgot who elected them. These officials can march out of step with the electorate only so long. The holier and smarter than thou position of yours would work better in the Kremlin. Not here. Too bad you didn't have the minimal amount of class to lose gracefully.
