Will Bush Escape Impeachment?

If there is hard evidence of his personal involvement in law breaking, he can be prosecuted like any other criminal.

Exactly. That is why Ford pardoned Nixon.

The problem with trying to convict anyone with wealth or connections of any crime is their power to escape the courts. Whether through slick talking or back door negotiations, anybody with enough money and/or friends in high places can escape conviction and/or punishment. Clearly Bush has done illegal things but the problem is, most of those activities were only declared illegal after the fact or after discovery at which point they were stopped. Supposedly. It would be hard to convict Bush of war profiteering for example particularly since that's not illegal. The slickness with which Rove handles Bush's criminal exposures will probably serve to prevent impeachment unless such hard evidence can be obtained and made public by for example, the Congress. This isn't likely to happen even if the Democrats were to gain a two thirds majority in both Houses. Let's not forget that while Democrats in the House protested the result of the 2000 election, not one Democratic Senator could be found to support them. Not even Kennedy, Kerry or Clinton stepped forward.

holy shit, where do we begin. but of course the right wingnuts will only use the typical nazi druggo limpballs lies to defend and deflect goober bush's

or indirectly quoted someone who said :

Bush has openly committed war crimes. What counts is the law at the time the crime was committed. All his changing the laws won't get him off the hook. After he is out of office there will be no need for the Republican party to protect him. It will be to their advantage to let him twist in the wind and try desperately to disassociate from him by throwing a few rocks themselves.

Bush also made himself very unpopular all over the world. He will eventually face war crimes tribunals in the Hague. They hanged Nazis merely for 'waging an aggressive war'. Bush has done far worse.
