Reply #49: I think it would be

[polmaven]

huge now, at this point in the mis-administration, yes. I was a little put off before this, because, as my Congressman explained at a town hall meeting, there are simply not the votes in the Senate to remove the idiot, and if there was to be anything more frightening than what he has been doing already, a Senate acquittal would be it.

This guy (and I use that term advisedly) would not have considered impeachment as an admonishment, but the acquittal as justification of all he has done. He would have felt even more empowered than he already does to shred even more of the Constitution, and that would be disaster.
