Good point! It was, in fairness, a failed impeachment, but it did set some very dangerous possibilities open for the future. That said, I wouldn't take the threat very seriously right now. I don't think those same neocon GOP members are in a position to benefit from this kind of scenario at the moment anyway. If they can't take Obama down in the elections, they would probably only polarize and offend voters more by maneuvers like this.
