Impeaching Nixon? Republican-led Missouri House holds hearings

[Sherman A1]

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. • A Republican-led Missouri House committee is holding a hearing on multiple measures seeking to impeach Democratic Gov. Jay Nixon.

The hearing on three separate impeachment resolutions includes one citing Nixon's decision to allow same-sex couples who married legally in other states to file joint tax returns in Missouri. Another measure is critical of the amount of time the governor took to call special elections to fill legislative vacancies.

The final measure under consideration by the Judiciary Committee would impeach Nixon for his refusal to fire officials involved with the Revenue Department's decision last year to scan driver's license applicants' personal documents into a computer system.

1. Basically, impeachment for being a Democrat

This bullshit is just pretexts for impeaching him for not being a Republican. This is also what they did to Clinton and plan to do to Obama: Find any bullshit pretext they can and use it as an excuse to impeach him for not being Republican.

2. Yup,
