Think of the Precedent

This one's aimed at all the liberals against impeachment:
"There is no doubt that at the very least this Administration has dangerously expanded the scope of executive authority and flaunted the constitutionally defined separation of powers,"
...
"Expansions and potential abuses of power by this administration become precedents for future ones, which lead to further erosions of our constitutional rights."

- Rep. Michael Michaud in a Dec. 21 letter to Rep. John Conyers, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, as reported by the Bangor Daily News
Impeachment proceedings would actively force this danger back a step, officially labeling Bush & Cheney's actions as the crimes many know them to be.
