California Mountain Snake Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 I find it hilarious that he thinks you need to be "fair" or have to prove anything in an impeacement hearing (note: not trial). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herr Wozzeck Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 You've seriously got to be kidding me, Blagojevich. Why not do what Nixon did and get your ass out of office before the impeachment hearings? Some people these days... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't there a whole LAW thing that would kind of require him to go to trial due to...well...being tried? The balls on this guy... It's not a trial. An impeachment hearing follows no strict legal code or precedent. The "judges" are senators, not members of the judiciary. The better way to think of it is like a job performance review, and the senate is looking at firing Blagojevich. You're allowed to fire someone even if they didn't break the law, and you don't have to break the law to get impeached (See: Bill cheating on Hillary).

Not Changed by VASM :( Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I'm from Illinois so I already knew the guy was a douchebag. Now everyone else is going on about, "How could he be such a douchebag" and I'm like "What's the big surprise?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herr Wozzeck Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Pride factor that's all. I don't know, but either way I'd look at an impeachment as a way of being all 'holy shit, I'm screwed no matter what I do'. I'd actuall resign to save my pride instead of doing what Blagojevich is doing... You're allowed to fire someone even if they didn't break the law, and you don't have to break the law to get impeached (See: Bill cheating on Hillary). Also, Andrew Johnson, who got impeached after Lincoln died for the then Republican-held Senate since they were pretty angry at him not instilling enough equality on the South.

Destiny Hero Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Lols. I'd impeach him for being so ugly. You'd think a guy named Rod Blagojevich couldn't be uglier than his name.... You'd think wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herr Wozzeck Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Ugly =/= race Congratulations! For completely missing the point I was trying to make, you've officially brought the IQ of mankind down another 2 or 3 points! Give yourself a pat on the back, mister! I'D IMPEACH OBAMA FOR BEING A MAN AND PALIN FOR BEING WHITE!!!!! I was thinking I could clarify the point for you, but you clearly prefer to stay borded up in your ignorant suburban home. So I'll let you come up with more stupid reasons to impeach people since you clearly don't care about who's running the country unless it's an old fart who's responsible for fucking up the country.

dondon151 Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 It's not a trial. An impeachment hearing follows no strict legal code or precedent. The "judges" are senators, not members of the judiciary. The better way to think of it is like a job performance review, and the senate is looking at firing Blagojevich. You're allowed to fire someone even if they didn't break the law, and you don't have to break the law to get impeached (See: Bill cheating on Hillary). An impeachment is a trial. A government official must be accused of legal misconduct in order to be impeached, and must be convicted of said legal misconduct in order to be removed from office. An impeachment is separate from an indictment - though both involve legal charges, an impeachment can only result in removal from office while an indictment can result in actual legal consequences. Clinton was not impeached because he cheated on Hillary, nor was Johnson impeached solely because the Senate was fed up with him. Clinton's impeachment charges had to do with his alleged perjury in a separate sexual harassment case and Johnson's impeachment charges had to do with him violating an act that the Senate had passed in order to get him impeached (because they knew he would probably violate that act).

Something is out there just ready to blow on the whistle at any minute. Yeah. I mean, take Watergate for example. Nixon saw everything fall apart around him, from Spiro Agnew getting in major trouble for tax evasion to some tapes he wouldn't give out. So what did he do? He resigned before he impeached, and then handed the tapes in to the FBI. He was a coward, but at least he was honest after the fact by doing what everybody else needed to do. Plus, he still kept some of his dignity (I mostly think about his trip to China when I think of Nixon). The way things are going with Blagojevich's trial, he's taking the Paris Hilton approach to it. (If any of you remember when she got put in prison two years ago for violating house arrest and drinking, she was all 'it's not fair!'. I was all, 'well, bitch, you went out of your house knowing perfectly well you weren't supposed to, and on top of that you did the thing with which you got put on house arrest in the first place, so yeah, it's fair, whether you like to believe it or not'. I see Blagojevich making the same mistake of distancing himself from an 'I'm screwed' situation and being a whiny little bitch about it.)
