So, feasibly, if enough state legislatures made the petition for impeachment, it would just about have to happen.

Trust me, no one would love to see the legal and peaceful removal of the Bush regime from power more than I, but it probably won't happen unless ther American people really convince Congress that Bush and his cronies have broken serious laws (which GW and his good ol' boys have done).
