24. very true . . . but since impeachment proceedings will literally consume . . .
the government and the nation for a year or more, might it not be a better idea to let Bush serve out his term while accumulating evidence, and then prosecute the whole bunch AFTER they've left office? . . .

I bow to no one in my hatred of BushCo and all they stand for, but there's just SO-O-O-O-O-O much that needs doing that will never get done if we're tied up with impeachment stuff . . .

much as I would LOVE to see it happen, the truth is that impeachment would probably be counterproductive . . . i.e. it would prevent us from building a positive record of achievement -- and from saving the country from the BushCo excesses, both those already in law and those in their pipeline . . . (which, thankfully, we can now clog) . . .

no reason we can't prosecute after they're out of office . . . it's going to take that long to assemble the evidence and build the case anyhow (despite Conyers' excellent beginning), and there are much more crucial issues that demand our time and energy right now . . . cleaning up their mess is going to be a massive undertaking . . .
