Nixon vs Bush
Imagine that Republicans in Richard Nixon's day were as committed as today's GOP to partisan politics. They would have filibustered in the Senate and even shut down the governemt to prevent an impeachment of Nixon. Imagine what Nixon could have done if he knew he wouldn't be investigated much less impeached. Fortunately, back then members of both parties wouldn't stand for what Nixon did.
George W. Bush has committed, and even admitted to, acts that should be impeachable offenses. What will today's congress do? Probably make Bush's admitted illegal acts retroactively legal and refuse to investigate the rest while most of today's elected Democrats just sit and watch.
