277. That's a big unknown..
they'd likely have to take it to court on a case by case basis. I guess if somebody could prove to me that moving on impeachment immediately would somehow be the magic bullet to holding this bunch accountable, I'd be all for it. In other words, is there more to be gained than lost, I mean for the country as a whole, not just for those of us who are outraged? I'm not convinced there is, yet.

And I'm just not buying all of the hysterical hyperbole about the destruction of the Constitution absent impeachment. Impeachment is a tool, not a requirement, and assuming the Dems take the White House in 2008, I'd be much happier with criminal charges brought after they leave office, without possibility of immediate pardon. A few years in jail would be sweet. I'd wait for that, gladly.
