Why is that? Personally I think it would be a very prudent idea for Republicans to get together NOW and impeach Bush and Cheney for their horrific abuse of executive privilege and power and especially for their recent "we tortured - So?" confessions, or all the precedents set by them will be passed on to Obama and he will be untouchable, which even I, as a SuperLiberal, think is a very very bad idea. No branch of government, regardless of party, should be untouchable. Ever. But you just couldn't do it, could you?
