13. Sooooo many reasons why I don't think that's the way to approach this.

Let's go with the big two:

1) Berni's right. We stand to gain a lot more if we use this as a prybar instead of a hammer, and

2) The people want change. They're sick of political battles. In the short term we have to work to not look vindictive. That's where "working together" to make necessary changes happens. In the long term, of course, we can open investigations now that will lead to a world of shit for some Repubs...but we need to do it intelligently. We need to fast-track universally positive solutions to show that we're not simply anti-Repubs, and we need to put the pot of whoop-ass on simmer so it's ready in September or October of 2008.
