    "Now it is incumbent for the Judiciary Committee to review the evidence. If it fails to hold any hearings on the resolution within the next thirty days, given the gravity of the charges and the moment, I will once again bring a similar privileged resolution of Impeachment to the House. We must not only create an historical record of the misconduct of the Bush Administration but we must make sure that any future Administration is forewarned about the Constitutionally proscribed limits of executive authority and exercise of power contravening the Constitution," he concluded.

    Good Article.

    I disagree with the writer that at this point Bush's crimes are irrelevant. I believe time is of the essence. We have only so long to make sure he is dishonorably discharged from the presidency. I want this man to leave office with a badge of shame.


    tell the parents to all the dead or maimed soldiers that it's irrelevant. they lied their way into getting enough support for a war that helped bankrupt our treasury (which had a record surplus, btw) and that's somehow irrelevant??? if we allow this administration to get away w/ all this shit it will only keep sliding further and further down. ppl should be putting their foot down instead of looking the other way or shrugging
    standin above the crowd
    he had a voice that was strong and loud and
    i swallowed his facade cos i'm so
    eager to identify with
    someone above the crowd
    someone who seemed to feel the same
    someone prepared to lead the way

    I agree. That Bush is leaving office in a few months is irrelevant. If he and his party are guilty of these crimes, then justice ought to be served. A successful impeachment may be the first step to a criminal trial.

    If it was at all possible to bring Hitler to justice right now, would any one of us say that because he's no longer in power, it's irrelevant? A pastor in a church who abuses a child........ is it irrelevant that he no longer works in the church where the abuse took place? I could go on........

    yeah, i was gonna say what if a teacher molested your kid...would you say 'well summers here so no need to worry about it anymore!' of course not! even if you think bush was just a dupe, SOMEONE needs to be held accountable for these things. look at all the programs that have been cut to free up money for the war profiteering effort, it's crazy so many see it as such a nonissue
