bemused_leftistAnother problem with impeachment ... read up on Nixon's. He and his VP, Agnew, were both accused of various things. So Agnew resigned, Nixon appointed a supposedly clean Ford as new VP, Nixon resigned, Ford became President -- and pardoned Nixon and Agnew and everyone in sight, for any and all past OR FUTURE crimes, iirc.
The GOP would just use the same tactic again. It doesn't matter which puppet they have in the White House -- Reagan, Bush Sr, Bush Jr, or some new 'Ford'. Halliburton and Enron people would still control the government.
Imo Pelosi and Feinstein and others are right. Attempting impeachment would waste time and energy and annoy the shallow public, which might lose us the 2008 elections.
If we can get WH and House and Senate and a few more SC justices, then maybe we could pass something that would make future impeachments more effective.
