I don't think that's got anything to do with it (unfortunately). Impeachment proceeding SHOULD be based on the violation of laws and the consideration of fact. But Ratbastid is correct in pointing out that they are really used as a blunt instrument and a media grandstand. Think back a couple of years to the Clinton proceedings... Whether or not you believe that he broke any laws, it certainly looked to me like the House was running that trial on public opinion. That's a problem inherent in using a jury that has to run for re-election...
Charlatan could well be right that a focussed impeachment effort could produce a focussed support effort - Bush could come out of such an ordeal in better shape than he went in.
Also, Ustwo, what's LLL? I'm not familiar with that acronym.
