Reply #232: What's the problem? This makes perfect sense.

When you're in Congress (or any committee of power) you have to take factors into consideration that you would not normally do otherwise. I have been part of committee's at work where I have seen the same thing happen. She's saying she understands the feelings of the rest of us and if she DIDN'T have to take all those other factors into consideration she would be right there with us calling for impeachment.

However, since she IS the Speaker of the House she DOES have to take EVERYTHING into consideration. Including the possibilities that she mentioned:
1. It could split the country even more so than now.
2. They just don't have the votes in the Senate to convict.
3. They have a lot of positive work they want to get done without being bogged down with Impeachment hearings.

Although I would like to see the b@stards impeached as much as anyone else, I understand and respect her reasons for not going forward with it.
