The following is something I posted back in January:

As I said after the election there will be numerous committees and investigations that will climax with calls for impeachment reminiscent of the early ‘70s. (Although they may not be dumb enough to go “all the way” as that would display them as the liberals they are rather than the “moderates” they were elected as in many states).

Here’s a blast from the past from 1971 with many parallels (substitute Vietnam with Iraq):

DELLUMS COMMITTEE HEARINGS ON WAR CRIMES IN VIETNAM
April 25, 1971
Caucus Room, Cannon House Office Bdlg

This nation will be shocked by what it hears, but America will be better for having heard it. We call upon our fellow Congressman to attend these sessions and to learn from what is said here. The people are war-weary and the Congress must assert its constitutional prerogative to end the longest war in history.

This Congress has had chance after chance to end the war, and we have not done it. Hopefully these hearings in combination with all the other pressures that can be exerted, hopefully, we will then force the Congress to act and to cause it to end this bloody and immoral war in which we have been so long engaged. Thank you, Mr Chairman.

CONYERS: ..... I want to emphasize that this Congress has displayed a complete lack of moral responsibility and legislative integrity in not having the courage to openly look at the actions that we are forced to do .....
