With all of the information available now regarding the White House involvement in the firings and the suspicions that Carol Lam may have been fired over the continuing Cunningham investigations, it is time to seriously start talking about impeachment of Bush. I know a lot of people have been saying this for some time now, and some have been arguing that it isn't "politically viable" or whatever. The intersection of White House involvement in the firings and the possibility of at least one of the firings relating to a US Attorney's pursuit of an investigation has drastically changed the calculus.

Richard Nixon resigned before articles of impeachment could be brought before the full House for a vote. But three articles had been approved by the Judiciary Committee, meaning a full vote was imminent. Nixon resigned when he was informed that not only would they pass the House, but the Senate was likely to convict on at least one of the articles. He was left with no choice: resign or be removed.
