Bad decisions don't constitute high crimes and misdemeanors, not even the staggering volume of staggeringly bad decisions this president has made.
You want to talk impeachable offenses, you have to get into the civil liberties erosion, the destruction of constitutional rights, and the lies used to get into Iraq. I think any of those could be the foundation of a writ of impeachment.
Whether it would be politically wise for the new Congress to do such a thing is another question entirely, of course. I don't expect we'll see him impeached. I do expect we'll see him go down as the biggest nose-dive the presidency has ever seen.
