it's a good first step towards impeachment.
Which, realistically, probably wouldn't be sustained anyway even if the House and Senate goes back to Demo control after the 06 elections.
I think it takes 60 votes in the Senate to sustain impeachment.
But the value of doing this (Censor and impeachment) is not so much in attaining actual censor or impeachment, but rather in using these issues to help the Dems regain control of the house and senate.
