Many people are calling for this and that of Cheney. But will it ever happen? Probably not! It is an emotional thing that is being used for political attention.
Impeachment will be a long drawn out affair. It will be all consuming affair. The Congress will come to a stand still, something the Repubs might want, it would give them a little breathing space. After all the President is not up for re-election and will be gone from office before anything substantial can be done.
Dems need to think hard before travelling this road. Look at the polls! Congress approval rating is at 11%, the impeachment process could hurt them even more to the point that they could conceivably be in the minus category. They could already be in trouble in the next election. Do they really want to chance the voter taking back the mandate that they gave last November?
I just do not see the Dems making this call. They are trying desperately trying to expand their influence in Congress and I do not see that happening if they chase an impeachment. They already appear to be doing nothing, why would they want to enforce that belief?
I have been wrong before and could well be this time, but I believe that the Dems are more concerned with elections than with the impeachment of the President.

Clinton's impeachment took 2 months, Nixon's three before he resigned. We've been waiting 9 months while our progressive agenda has been vetoed by this president. During Nixon's impeachment, a host of progressive issues were passed into law BECAUSE of the threat of impeachment.
Those who have pursuied impeachment in the past have ALWAYS been given a political boost by showing some back bone. Read "Genius of impeachment."
I do not think it would be that easy, the election will prevent it. The impeachment may be a possibility after Nov 08. But it will depend on the intelligence of the American people and that is a scary thought.
