High Crimes and Misdemeanors

Unimpeachably Impeachable

Last week’s four-part Washington Post feature on Vice President Dick Cheney removed any doubt in my mind as to whether he and President George W. Bush have committed the kinds of high crimes and misdemeanors that warrant impeachment.
While President George W. Bush bears the ultimate responsibility, the nature of the evidence against Cheney and his closest associates is so specific and overwhelming that it makes sense to impeach and bring him to trial first.
Subpoenas from Capitol Hill are flying downtown into executive office buildings like paper airplanes, but the potential for obfuscation and delay is immense, and the danger to the Republic speaks for a more urgent, simpler approach.
Suggestion: From the most heinous, select just one for which there is ready proof—one not susceptible of the kind of diddling that has been so prevalent in Washington these past several years.
Why not focus on a high crime that the Bush administration has already admitted to, with claims it is above the law and the Constitution: electronic eavesdropping on Americans without the required court warrant.


You know, as I was reading this article it occurred to me that even though I am sick and tired of The Bush Administration, tired of Blogging about the morons in the White House and concerned that this Blog is somewhat redundant, it is because of articles like this that I will continue to Blog about the blatant disregard this Administration has for "We the Sheeple" and the completely narcissistic way that Bush functions. I hate that our men and women are being killed in a War that doesn't have to be and I hate that the people in Iraq are being just as traumatized as we are. So, as long as Bush and his good 'ol boys are sitting there on the hill, I will continue to inform you everytime I find something that shows the atrocities these men are guilty of inflicting on the world.
Peace
