It's a good thing our Dem leaders... (none / 0) (#13)

Yes, it's surely a good thing that all of us "impeachniks" have been effectively sidelined by our wise, responsible, moderate, cooperative Democratic leadership in Congress.  After all, what we demand (enforcement of the law and the Constitution) is politically "unpossible," as Ralph Wiggum might say, so we need to focus on more "winnable" tactical battles.

Like... retroactively immunizing the telcoms for breaking Federal laws for 6 years running? Legalizing the Resident's warrantless spying program(s)?  Rolling over for the new conservative AG appointment without so much as a peep of inquiry as to what the last occupant of that office might have done (or left undone)?

And where is that famous de-funding of the Iraq war?  Wasn't that supposed to be the practical substitute for impeaching the Resident?  Haven't heard much about that lately, have we?

Uhmmm... right.  With Democrats "winning" like this, who needs Republicans?
