The situation now is akin to that of a bully who's authority has been challenged. The road downhill can go further. Having bent the rules of civilised discourse and political behaviour so far, there really isn't a safety net underneath them anymore.
They have made enough internal enemies (Paul O'Neill, Colin Powell, Joe Wilson, Lawrence Wilkerson, John McCain - to name just a few public instances) that first impeachment and later trial for war crimes in the Hague or treason at home are a real possibility.
