Impeachment

Words of wisdom from a D.U. contributor named cali:
Impeachment Is Like The Final Stages Of A Serious Chess Game

You have to be able to see the whole board and figure out how to win. That means you don't rush it.

To succeed means to convict in the Senate. That means you need to do two very important things: You have to persuade the American people to support and understand why it must be done, and you have to make a case so compelling that foot dragging red state dems and the majority of the repubs must vote for conviction or suffer the political consequences.

Howls for the virtual heads of bush/cheney on pikes, aren't gonna cut it. We need investigations before impeachment articles are introduced, not so much to make the case to the Senate, but to make the case to the American people.
