Since the Iraq war started and even before, in this case with the Bush-Cheney haters, it would expose people as far worse than anyone associated with the Clinton impeachment.

The thing to do is to look and work forward to November and next January. Vote Dem if you feel you must [grin] or merely if you feel you should (because the Dems are better or because the GOP is worse or deserves to be subject to “house cleaning” in the White House and in Congress).

The Bush administration's days are numbered and that number is low now as well as continuing to diminish. They're the lamest of lame ducks by their own making.

What little they do (short of a war with Iran) is no big deal. People need to grow up, calm down, and act as they feel fit about this, for example.

“[C]linics, hospitals and other providers of healthcare would be required to certify that they would not fire a worker who has religious objections to providing any particular 'health service.' These could include multiple forms of contraception, including some birth control pills, IUDs and emergency 'morning after' contraception.”

It's a late-in-the-administration sop to the Religious Right, which the administration (as do others) frequently takes for granted after elections and neglects, but occasionally gives them a sop, especially before elections so they'll be more likely to vote (Republican).

Overused and hyped. The main thing is the arrogance and withdrawal from everyone else as well as needless deliberately confrontational behavior. Yes, the Dems have been creepy cretins* in Congress, but the White House has been awfully confrontational and uncooperative. The public doesn't like it. “They only care about themselves.”

In principle, I think Bush should have been impeached, because, as president, the final responsibility is his, even for what Cheney does and even for what Mukasey does. As the decider, it's up to him to decide what's right and what's wrong.
My dilemma comes from the fact that we live in a post Clinton impeachment world. Unlike the Nixon impeachment, in which Republicans stuck to principles, the Clinton impeachment was a political vendetta. No one was fighting for justice; the goal was to destroy Clinton by any means possible,. And I say that without minizing the fact that lying in the course of official inquiries is a crime.
I was around and watching at the time, and it tore the country apart – every bit as much as the Viet Nam war and the the civil rights movement did.
It was ugly, and in many ways, the country never healed after that like it did after the Nixon impeachment . .

As we are in the middle of two wars and worrying about a third, plus having the economy in the tank, I can't help wondering what another impeachment would do. Partisan hatreds are at such a fever pitch, that I don't even want to think what the US would be like to live in if it gets much worse.
I do believe the common good has to be considered, when the application of a single principle. is on the table, but determining the line in the sand, beyond which principles can't be bent is not easy. It should be hard, because the common good is a princiole, too, one every bit as important as any other.
In view of all the other complications, though, this one is particularly difficult – for me, at least. . .

The last two AG's make Ashcroft look good, because he cared about the law, not protecting the rears of his superiors.

Terrorists have no business running this country masking their terror as “a war on terror” ironically..
