The Republicans would be foolish to try impeachment -- following on the historical heels of their pursuit of Clinton, it would reinforce in the polity's mind that they are willing to use the machinery of government for partisan goals, even to the point of overturning the will of the voters; and especially now, with their power base of white voters becoming smaller, they simply have to court minorities. Fabricating a case against the first minority President in our history would destroy, perhaps permanently, any possibility of them overcoming the perception of being a racist party. Demographics being what they are, that would be fatal to the GOP.
