How he will be judged depends on the stance he takes from here on; if he relents, apologizes, says it was wrong, he will be forgiven and the impeachment will not occur. However, if he persists in his "you can't tell me what to do" policy and insists that his behavior was justified, he will be impeached.

Who cares about the Constitutiont if we can catch one man lying about a blowjob?? [/sarcasm]

Now that I've gotten it out of the way, Bush won't apologize. He's already stated that the Constitution is just a piece of paper, and I expect that he (or his advisors) would just as soon take a red pen to it. That's a very dangerous man to have in office, but I don't think the alternatives were any better. I don't look forward to 2008...
