We have a president and vice president that have brought back torture, made a joke of the Geneva conventions, and allowed their busom buddies to run a corrupt occupational government in Iraq, and we're going to impeach him for eavesdropping? Keep in mind that innocent people have almost certainly been caught up in this little "it's not torture" experiment, notably Khalid El-Masri and Maher Arar.

Nothing shows the American trait of putting legalisms before justice than this sort of thing. Either that or most people (and senators) consider making a joke of basic human rights and treaties regarding warfare a minor offense, unworthy of impeachment (well, that's sadly most likely the case anyway). I suppose we also don't want to shed too much light on the help we've recieved from various European and Middle Eastern allies in these schemes either...

If we're going to get rid of the president, lets bring out the big guns. The most likely illegal NSA programs are certainly crimes, but I hesitate to use them as the basic foundation for impeachment when there's so much worse material floating around. Is this the logical end that a legalistic society leads us to? Can't we call a spade a spade?

Why would charges be limited to just wiretaps? There are crimes going back to running interference for Enron in 2001. I want the list to be complete and detailed.
