Sorry Jim. I need to slow down. Too many typos lately. Here's the corrected quote from your comment:

And I know Nancy’s point was, we have to reverse about seven years of this horrific administration’s policies, and she’s fearful of losing steam on that, in that regard. -- Barbara Boxer

Doesn't exactly fill you with overwhelming confidence that she has your interests at heart does it?

Although it is not directly related to impeachment, there is very good post at FDL titled "When All They Understand Is Fear or Force" that proposes an effective way of dealing with the Republican impasse (another way of saying that I agree with it wholeheartedly.)

P.S. It's non-violent.

From its inception the Bush administration has operated in the manner of a cabal. Without secrecy it could not function. Without secrecy, many of the legal, economic and social changes it has effected could not have come to pass.

In only his second week in office, Bush created the Energy Task Force. Almost immediately, the Congress saw that the Task Force, run by Cheney and advised by oil industry executives, was operating in strict secrecy and began to suspect that it's goal was to set national and international energy policy. The Congress sued and the case was dismissed by a Bush appointed judge. What we have learned is that, as early as March 2001, the infrastructure and hydrocarbon assets of Iraq, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates were under the scrutiny and became part of the planning of Dick Cheney's secret oil cabal.

That has been the pattern from the beginning and it remains the pattern. All domestic and international policies are the result of secret, closed door negotiations among Bush and his loyal servants. The President sets the policy. The Congress creates legislation as necessary in support of the policy. If there is disagreement between the executive and legislative branches, the politically appointed executive attorneys in the Department of Justice are used to force the issue in the executive's favor.

The two powers behind the throne in this government are Dick Cheney and Karl Rove. Both of them wield power as if they were president. They operate under the umbrella of a would be unitary executive, a corrupt judicial system and a mainstream media that uses its megaphone to parrot and trumpet the administration agenda.

Fred Hyatt is just doing his job, that is if his job is to support those in power in part by supporting and maintaining the veil of secrecy without which many of the egregious crimes of this administration would not have been possible.
