Would enough rethugs vote BushCo guilty?

[RiverStone]

A little history on President Clinton's impeachment proceedings and the impeachment process itself:

January 7, 1999: Chief Justice William Rehnquist, who presided over the impeachment trial, was officially sworn in along with the 100 senators who acted as jurors.

February 12, 1999: President Clinton is acquitted of the two articles of impeachment. Rejecting the first charge of perjury, 10 Republicans and all 45 Democrats vote "not guilty." On the charge of obstruction of justice, the Senate is split 50-50.

From Wikipedia:

The impeachment procedure is in two steps. The House of Representatives must first pass "articles of impeachment" by a simple majority. (All fifty state legislatures as well as the District of Columbia city council may also pass articles of impeachment against their own executives). The articles of impeachment constitute the formal allegations. Upon their passage, the defendant has been "impeached."

Next, the Senate tries the accused. In the case of the impeachment of a President, the Chief Justice of the United States presides over the proceedings...

In order to convict the accused, a two-thirds majority of the senators present is required. Conviction automatically removes the defendant from office.

Now we ALL CAN AGREE that BushCo's war crimes and illegal wiretaps far, far transcend the charges which brought President Clinton to an impeachment trial. I can easily vision the House passing "articles of impeachment" by a simply majority. We have that! Even so, should BushCo be brought to an impeachment trial; (BushCo appointee) Chief Justice John Roberts would preside. To be found guilty, at least 15 rethugs, both Independents (who knows about Lieberman?) and ALL the Democrats would need to find him guilty.

In 1999, 10 Senators in the GOP voted "not guilty"; in 2007, do you think at least 15 rethugs would have the courage to vote guilty? Would John Roberts preside in an un-biased manner?

This is NOT to suggest we don't proceed; I'm just pondering the question...
