    Default you know its bad when one of your own sues you

    WASHINGTON - A powerful Republican committee chairman who has led the fight against President Bush’s signing statements said Monday he would have a bill ready by the end of the week allowing Congress to sue him in federal court.

    “We will submit legislation to the United States Senate which will...authorize the Congress to undertake judicial review of those signing statements with the view to having the president’s acts declared unconstitutional,” Judiciary Committee Chairman Arlen Specter, R-Pa., said on the Senate floor.

    I doubt they would impeach him, unless something we dont already know comes up.

    I think more likely they will embarrass him and trash his immage it would likely be 1000 before another Republican from Texas could get the Republican nomination for president.

    Not only that but it would benefit them in the next elections showing that they are not all Neo-Con apologists, even if they had been right up until then...

    Americans are so forgetful.
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

    They are shaping up not too. I haven't heard much from them in terms of an impeachment despite everything. I'd feel completely cheated if they didn't at least try.

    Impeachment seems unlikely at this point.
