What about Nixon?..

Nixon RESIGNED after GOP leaders told him they could no longer defend him. He was NOT impeached.

You miss the point..they were heading for impeachment....the fact the dem got the results they wanted without actually impeachment is kind of irrelevant....he was the only President pushed out of office
The threat of impeachment was the weapon....

the Cold War was fought with a weapon that was never fired..

impeachment can be used as a political weapon without actually firing it

Rush has been good of late on this..impeachment is a political weapon of last resort....

you do not need to use but neither do you forbid it use...

think of it like a Cold War nuke..the threat can be used to put a rouge in check

We have rogue president out to destroy this country we are in a cold Civil War
