Even if anything you say is anywhere close to being true, what constitutes
an impeachable "high crime and misdemeanor" in your alleged mind?

Apparently a Democratic Senate didn't consider perjury or obstruction of
justice to be sufficient.  Alleged simply erroneous or even misinformation
does not quite seem to meet Constitutional muster.  I say that because so
far, there has been absolutely no hint of convening the appropriate
congressional committee (which would be the House Judiciary Committee) to
consider any articles of impeachment, nor has any Special Prosecutor request
even been mentioned.  Considering the likes of Rep. Pelosi, Sen Daschle, or
any of the host of Democratic Presidential hopefuls, if there were even a
snowball's chance in hell of securing any of the above necessities, might
not there have been some, any mention of any of the aforementioned
requisites in the media?  Anywhere credible?  Anywhere at all?
