Unless you have 67 votes in the Senate ready to convict, it's utterly a waste of time, and gesture politics at its worst.
Tell me who the 16 Republican Senators are who would be willing to vote for conviction. Name names.
And, yes, I said this throughout the Clinton impeachment (with the parties reversed).
*^*^*
My secondary problem with impeachment was, for a long time, you had to go deep into the line of succession to find a decent human being (Norm Mineta, who has since retired).
Admittedly, that line will become shorter sometime in January.
Pelosi has already said she won't waste her time (or political goodwill) by starting impeachment proceedings. Much as Dubya deserves it, it won't happen... and besides, who wants to see Cheney take the reins?! :)
Pardon me for my denseness, but this is driving me nuts - where did the I'm in UR X, Ying UR Z come from? I'm seeing it everywhere and it's kind of inherently funny, but I feel it would be even more hysterical if I had context...
