7. the reason I have doubts about impeachment

The chief justice of the Supreme Court would preside over the trial in the Senate. The odds of a "fair" trial would be zero to none IMO.
If Bush is impeached for illegal wiretapping for instance and is cleared, it becomes legal for every other President from now until the end of time.
I fear with a stacked Supreme Court we will just get an endorsement of the crimes.
