However, in practical terms impeachment in the U.S. Senate requires a 2/3 majority for conviction, which is unlikely given that 55 out of 100 Senators are Republican.

You fail to state the obvious however!

Republicans are not Democrats.

Republicans always put the good of the country above what's good for the party or a single man.

We saw the Democrats' priorities in 1999.

If there is incontrovertible proof that Bush cooked the intel, wouldn't matter if the Senate were 90% Republican.

Can you say John McCain? He never puts the good of the country above what he thinks is good for his own political advantage.

I asume you are being serious. Thus, I am having a tough time with this one. For ONE example, illegal immigration, and what is doing to this country, and the list goes on. My case rests.

Actually, House must bring impeachment charges, and even without Tom deLay (ejected and serving a sentence on a Houston chain-gang for no particular offense until such time as the Democratic National Committee shall permit his release), Dennis Hastert can hold the House strong enough that they will reject any impeachment articles.
