The problem is that congress doesn't have the 2/3 votes needed so it will go nowhere.
Kucinich has started a bill to impeach Cheney (I think), but it has no support with the Republicans or Democrats.

Which is why the so called Democratic Victory in '06 was nothing more than a show, and as evidenced by their own failures to get anything done of substance, they continue to be a lame duck Congress. Things will change only when they get a Democratic President in power. My only comment to that is, be careful what you wish for....
