- Impeachment: If not now, when?
  Posted by Jeff from Seattle Post-Intelligencer
  The issue is not about removing Bush and Cheney as much as it is about preserving the Constitution and redeeming the office of the executive. The Constitution is the contract of governance between the people and the government. What happens when major portions of the contract are violated?

- The horror is getting to Matt Taibbi
  Posted by VincebusEruptum from Scholarsandrogues
  Exclusive Q&A with writer Taibbi. Snippet - "If and when I ever get to be Interior Minister, one of my first acts is going to be the putting to death of anyone who thinks God interferes in the outcome of things like sporting events and elections. I'd want to have a giant shark tank built expressly for this purpose. Just throw them in there and then dump a couple of barrels of cow blood in the water..."

- Radio hosts slam top Democrats for reluctance to consider impeachment

  I don't see a connection between this and impeachment," Pelosi said, asked about a newly released secret memo on US interrogation tactics. A moment later, she side-stepped a repeat of the same question by elaborating on her goal to "bring the country behind a return to an America that honors the vision of our founders."

- Democrats' "censure" plan--another cynical diversion of fight against war and reaction
  Posted by Sandyenglish
  The obvious question is: Given ample constitutional grounds together with this mass popular support for bringing impeachment proceedings against the president and vice-president, why is Feingold, supposedly among the most liberal Democrats in the US Senate, pushing for only a motion of censure, a measure that would have no legal implications and would do nothing to stop the administration from continuing its criminal actions?

- Bush Distorts Qaeda Links, Critics Assert
  Posted by Jeff from New York Times
  “The same folks that are bombing innocent people in Iraq,” he said, “were the ones who attacked us in America on September the 11th, and that’s why what happens in Iraq matters to the security here at home.” Grounds for impeachment? Violation of the oath of office?

Bush claims executive privilege on CIA leak

The approval of Mukasey’s appointment was another act of doubling down by the Democrats in Congress. There were warning signs about Mukasey – but the Dems approved the appointment because they were saving the real battle for November.

Kucinich presents Bush impeachment articles on House Floor

I just don’t see a downside to this, & don’t understand the carping about being too late, unrealistic, etc.
We need to hold presidents accountable for committing crimes against humanity, international law, & the US Constitution 1) because it’s the ethical thing to do, & failing to do it amounts to complicity, & 2) because it sets a precedent for future administrations. I believe these considerations should override political expediency.
And as for political expediency, seems to me the best thing for Obama & the worst thing for McCain would be to hold up the misdeeds of this Republican White House to public scrutiny over the next few months.
