In some unbiased, empirical universe, I have no doubt that Bush would be impeached and removed from office. His administration has committed some egregious errors against the people of the United States and against the Constitution, any of which would, in my opinion, be sufficient grounds for those to go forward. However, I think going down that road at the current time is a pretty useless course of action.
Regardless of who is at fault, this country has a lot of problems that we need to deal with internally and externally. With the next election coming up, it would be very easy to cast prolonged impeachment proceedings as a partisan waste of time when there are more important things on the line. Frankly, I agree. Bush is a lame duck and is going to act accordingly. Nothing is really gained from going through all of that except for a possible feeling of vindication. Show how bad he was by doing things right and by using the time to solve problems that make a difference instead of punishing a 5 year old who mistakenly got elected (twice).
