Democrats:

Impeachment should be pushed to the back burner.  It is NOT our most critical priority.

First, recognize political reality: Impeachment of Bush and/or Cheney is NOT going to happen. If one or the other is impeached, the Senate will not confirm it. If the Senate did, it would only bring a replacement every bit as horrid as the incumbent, but with an advantage going into the 2008 elections - provided they will even occur.

Second, and more importantly, if impeachment was voted on by the House, what is to prevent Der Fuhrer Dub-yah from simply dissolving Congress, suspending Constitutional law and elections, and calling for round-up of all dissenters into Halliburton-built detention camps via his assumption of total command as provided through a self-declared emergency state of affairs under quasi-legal powers he imposed in his May 9th Executive directive / Homeland Security directive?

Wake up, folks!  He doesn't even have to declare martial law!  He HAS the power.

Democrats have put the impeachment cart ahead of the donkey braying the need to rescind Bush's May 9th directive that nullifies the 1976 National Emergency Management Act and replaces it with his arbitrary, unilateral, absolute assumption of power in a self-declared state of emergency. 

Everyone is so busy building steam behind an impeachment effort that will invariably go bust, when the real danger is that he has conferred upon himself dictatorial powers he can use at will - and no one is doing a damned thing about it!

Priorities, people!  Remove the GREATEST danger to consititutional law first - then move on to impeachment, confident that the bastard can't simply suspend the process.

I'm not saying it WILL happen, but that we should do all we can to prevent the possibility.

If not - advantage, Bush.
