Delaware Liberal

Yo, Speaker Pete: Ball’s In Your Court

What are you gonna do?  Continue to run interference for the disgraced State Auditor, or do your job?

From the Delaware Constitution:

Section 1. The House of Representatives shall have the sole power of impeaching; but two-thirds of all the members must concur in an impeachment. All impeachments shall be tried by the Senate, and when sitting for that purpose, the Senators shall be upon oath or affirmation to do justice according to the evidence. No person shall be convicted without the concurrence of two-thirds of all the Senators.

On the trial of an impeachment against the Governor or Lieutenant-Governor, the Chief Justice, or, in case of his or her absence or disability, the Chancellor shall preside; and on the trial of all other impeachments the President of the Senate shall preside.

Section 2. The Governor and all other civil officers under this State shall be liable to impeachment for treason, bribery, or any high crime or misdemeanor in office. Judgment in such cases shall not extend further than to removal from office, and disqualification to hold any office of honor, trust or profit, under this State; but the party convicted shall, nevertheless, be subject to indictment, trial, judgment and punishment according to law.

She’s already been convicted.  Time to act.  And none of this ‘I’ll wait until the appeals have all been exhausted’ bullshit.  You have a choice–proceed to remove a corrupt public official from office, or continue to taint yourself due to your close relationship with this corrupt public official.  Have you considered retiring?  You can all then go on vacations together, and reminisce.
