Given the list of offenses to choose from, the evidence already out there, and the decisive Dem majority, it’s hard to imagine that the House phase of impeachment would take very long.
And the Senate isn’t getting squat done already, due to the roadblock Republicans. So put the heat on ‘em.
Make a mighty push during September and October to start the occupation-ending program-related activity, and then go for impeachment of Gonzales, Cheney, and Bush in order.

Thomas - The whole country is in a mess and we, the voters, have said very little. Where’s the outrage - not counting the Democrats who need to police their own back yards and stop pointing their fingers at everybody else. The only way we’re going to get back to normalcy is via grass roots organizations (my opinion). What happened to: “by the people, for the people, of the people”? Fix the problem, not the blame. Enough said.

You know, the Dems could have their own version of a nuclear option - either stop the obstruction or we actually do our jobs and impeach your traitor of a president. It’s super sleazy but maybe only in the way that a plea bargain is.
(I still say that the GOP/establishment wouldn’t blink and would in fact welcome the opportunity to have their guy exonerated in a 24/7 circus of lies.)

If they were serious about this, then they could cancel recesses and work virtually around the clock to move forward on impeachment. There is time in the broader 24-hour day schedule to fit it in. And as for Congress moving forward on other stuff - it’s not like that’s happening on anything except the minimum wage bill that just went into effect.
