It's already decided. It's the House which gets to decide if the charges are germaine or not. The fact 'bribery, treason or other high crimes or misdameanors' is a legal spectrum makes the job of evaluating "what is impeachable" easy since it's based upon legal principles. The 'high crimes-misdameanors' is like a sliding scale that says "if an action by the Pres. is illegal and you say it's impeachable then he can be impeached on it". As for the delay I don't think the Court gives a rat's rear about either politiking or compromise. They never have. My reading, having followed the legal moves by Clinton, is the court is likely most-pissed at Clinton. Remember, it was Clinton who appealed the Paula Jones' filing to the Supreme Court, which then had to drop everything to give his complaint a hearing. They ruled against him saying not only that he had to face the lawsuit but that he had to testify as well, whereby Clinton promptly lied -to the Court in essence. Yeah, they're pissed.
