Nadler chairs the subcommittee of the House Judiciary Committee to which the bills for the impeachment of Cheney and Gonzales have been sent.

[…] When it came time for Q&A, Nadler was bombarded with questions about impeachment, which took up probably 90% of the conversation. He said it would be “emotionally wonderful” to impeach Bush, Cheney, and Gonzales. That they are all three “richly impeachable” and have committed any number of impeachable offenses. And that impeachment is “morally justified and legally defensible.” But he concluded that it would be “self indulgent” because “impeachment does nothing without a conviction in the Senate. And barring some unforeseen cataclysm, that’s not going to happen.” But that if he thought it would happen he’d be the “first in line” to start impeachment and that he’s open to having his mind changed.
