Well, I was going for the general idea of a special prosecutor building a case for impeachment, not that specific reality. I gotta say your suggestion really hits the mark. Here’s an idea: since the Supremes a decade back left the president wide open to civil lawsuits, how about all the fired prosecutors each bring an unlawful-termination lawsuit against Bush and keep him so tied up that he hasn’t time to fart, much less invade whatever?

Actually, Presidents are immune to lawsuits for official Presidential actions. The Paula Jones suit was for alleged conduct done in the personal sphere (not related to exercising the duties of his office).

The fired prosecutors can’t sue him, because they serve at the pleasure of the President. Of course, impeachment is still an option if Congress had any balls (since an impeachable offense is whatever Congress says it is and is unreviewable in any court).

Great! In a year there will be a different Republican in office that you won’t like.

Well, they do plan to have Guliani in the White House, but only if he wears that cute little French Maid outfit,

I’ve got a spreadsheet that counts down the days and converts it to hours, minutes, and seconds. I have a private little celebration whenever one of these figures is an even power of 10. Past milestones were:
100,000,000 seconds: 2:13:20 AM EST 11/20/2005
1,000 days: 01:00:00 PM EDT 04/26/2006
1,000,000 minutes: 01:20:00 AM EST 02/26/2007
10,000 hours: 08:00:00 PM EST 11/30/2007
Next milestone will be the 10,000,000 second mark in the fall.

As of noon today, there will be 31,276,800 seconds left of Bush’s Reign of Error.
