Rebuttal: Both Clinton and Nixon were impeached and threatened with impeachment [respectively] in a matter of months. And, there have been judges that have been impeached in much less time. Besides, Mr. Chairman, you’ve already done most of the work, as was laid out so eloquently in your book.
• Reason four: Not enough votes.
Rebuttal: We are only asking for hearings right now to begin the process of exposing the myriad crimes committed by the Bush administrations. In all likelihood, the rest will take care of itself. The votes will come after the American people begin to pressure their local representatives.
• Reason five: It will most likely cost the Democrats the election.
Rebuttal: Throughout history, I don't know if a correlation can be drawn. Democrats did win seats in Congress after Nixon, and the presidency in the next election. But it was the opposite after Clinton's impeachment when the Republicans lost seats.
Markthshark says:
Please mail or fax your rebuttals directly to Chairman Conyers, with the note that here are rebuttals to his objections to impeachment. Ask him to please consider them very carefully.
I have a feeling that now is the last chance to push for impeachment.
Here’s the address, phone numbers and faxes of all three of Conyers' offices.
