1) I don't know your stepson well enough to begin to gauge his reaction. And it depends on what reaction you're aiming for. If you're willing to live with him being pissed off and incensed at your challenge to his pet ideals, then I don't see where you have anything to lose. However, if family harmony is important, then you may want to phrase the message in a loving way.
2) Why are they still in office? Because the Republicans were never going to vote for impeachment when they controlled Congress and the Democrats didn't and still don't have a good enough hold over their base of power to force impeachment in any sort of successful way. I'm not convinced that impeaching both would be a particularly good idea for the Democrats anyway since it would elevate Pelosi to POTUS and backfire on them in 2008, when they have at least a better than even shot at taking the office legitimately.
