The I-word goes public | Salon.com News: "Late last year, the idea of impeaching President Bush, once taboo even among most liberals, started gaining real currency. Following revelations of Bush's domestic spying program -- and the president's unrepentant insistence on continuing it -- former Nixon White House counsel John Dean called Bush 'the first president to admit to an impeachable offense.' Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., the highest-ranking Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, called for the creation of a select committee to investigate 'those offenses which appear to rise to the level of impeachment.' Twenty-six House Democrats have joined him."
