31. Only 51% of the people support impeachment. Not enough to bring justice.
"JUSTICE WILL NOT BE DENIED!"

So you say. If you rush to impeachment without getting your Senators in line first - justice will indeed be denied.

Justice is actually routinely denied.

If the Senators believe that conviction is the overwhelming will of the people, THEN they will vote to commit.

Right now only a bare majority of Americans support impeachment. Given that, Bush will clearly walk if impeached. And he will walk a cleared man. Tried and acquitted.

So if you want justice, changing the will of the American people is the 1st job. Then you have leverage with the Senators. Then you have cover for the congresspeople. Then justice can be served.
