I have a couple of questions on that Grover Norquist interview. 1--impeach for what? 2--Isn't it the House that brings charges, not the Senate?

I'm pretty sure that's what is in the constitution unless I'm forgetting my highschool civics classes.

You forget a lot in those 3 or 4 years since highschool. - Theo Kojak Jan 27, 18:49
Silly Trish, trying to ask legitimate questions about the facts! -- nm - Strongbad Jan 27, 18:47
The House initiates, but the Senate holds the hearings and votes for or against conviction. -- nm - mara Jan 27, 18:27 2
- Ok then, so his statement that there will be enough republicans in the senate to initiate impeachment proceedings is patently false. - Trish Jan 27, 20:32 1
  - He never said anything about the senate being needed to "initiate" it. - Ender Jan 27, 20:48
Right - both of those issues were raised in the comments to the article. Didn't seem to be much support for him there. -- nm - MojaveMeg Jan 27, 18:24
