There were three Texas Republicans who voted in favor of sending the articles of impeachment against Bush to the House Judiciary Committee. One, Kevin Brady, did so for an unusual reason. “I believe the impeachment resolution is beyond ludicrous. Even the five minutes we spent on it were a waste of time,” said Brady. “I wanted it off the floor and dealt with.” I wonder why Rep. Brady feels that enforcing the law is ludicrous. He didn’t say why and does, I feel, the whole process a disservice by not taking the matter seriously as does Rep. Ron Paul. Republican and former candidate for president Ron Paul’s office had this to say about his yes vote on the resolution: “…his vote was to send the matter to the Judiciary Committee for further hearings and deliberation, which is standard procedure for actions of this type, rather than immediate action on the floor. Congressman Paul believes that impeachment is a serious matter and should not be undertaken lightly.”

Shame on any Congressman or Senator who voted in favor of the Clinton impeachment but does not support this one. “Principled judgments about matters of national importance”? “The rule of law”? None of that matters in a Washington Gone Wild about playing the partisan politics game. At this point in his term as president why not bag the ‘ol “rancher” from Crawford who is actually afraid of horses? The only reason I can think of to not impeach him is that Dick Cheney would become president. So let’s schedule impeachment for January 19, 2009, the day before the inauguration of the next president.
