How many Republicans do we need to impeach and convict Cheney ?
Has anyone counted probable heads and done the math ? I know we cannot do it on a straight line party vote, especially in the Senate.

2. We need a 2/3 majority to convict
And we can't even count on Dems let alone Reps. Not a chance in Hell of impeachment going through. That would mean the Dems would have to do something. And they have no idea of what to do. Their entire game plan is to let the Repugs do things and hope they screw up. I am sick to my core of this. I would run from the party but there is no place to run to. So I am going to stay here and kick the snot out of these do nothing Dem leaders until we get some Dems with freaking stones in their trousers and a spine in their back. I am a Democrat and these weak willed putzes have nothing to do with my freaking party.

Can you sense that I am a tad distressed?

3. Yes
I get so frustrated and depressed that sometimes I have to take a break.

4. We don't need any at all to Impeach
We need two thirds of the Senate to evict from office though and the way Republicans support the Criminals it won't happen.

7. No it will be bottled up in committee just like his previous bill.
There will be no vote nor any debate. Democrats don't wish it.
