Let's not forget that the entire process of impeachment, in spite of the clause "high crimes and misdeanors", is entirely a political process and no due process of law is required to prove any of the allegations.

Certainly the things the Bush administration has been accused of are more than enough motivation for impeachment proceedings to begin. Other presidents that have faced impeachment have built up far less motivation for the opposing party. I think it's a done deal that Bush and Co. will face incredible scrutiny should the Dems take charge in November. Whether it leads to an actual impeachment is quite a leap considering that simulataneous proceedings would need to take place against Cheney to insure removal of all objectionable people from the Presidency.
