90. Impeachment procedings won't help uphold the constitution.
Any more than praying for Bush to be struck by lightning will.

Both are activities whose stated goal is punishing Bush and upholding the constitution, and neither will help to achieve that goal.

The best way to defend the constitution is to elect a President who will respect it. And impeachment procedings will make that harder.

It's not a perfect way - it will involve Bush probably going unpunished - but it's the best way available of preventing future violations.

So I guess the answer to your question is "yes, technically, and so do you, even if you don't admit it".
