Impeach this!Just what are they guilty
of?
I'm getting so tired of the constant manufactured
offenses that certain leaders in Congress keep trotting
out.
I said more than two years ago that every time there is one of these unfounded and unproven accusations that fizzles out, it just leaves President Bush stronger. Last week and this week, I heard all sorts of noise to impeach Gonzales, Cheny, and Bush. I even saw one misinformed person demanding that Rove be impeached. So far the reasons I have seen are not sufficient. Bush has expanded the powers of the Executive? So has every war president in American history, including Washington. Bush fired some U.S. Attorneys? They serve at the pleasure of the President, he can fire them if he doesn't like the color of their socks, and he doesn't have to justify his decision to anyone. This is why I don't like throwing words like "impeachment" around. It weakens the meaning. There are things that Bush has screwed up on, but nothing impeachable yet. Not unless you want to arrest three quarters of the Congress and most of the serving Federal judges on treason charges. Don't laugh, I can make the case for that. This isn't about doing "what's right," it's about limiting the power of a Republican President. No Democrat would stand for those things being done to a Democrat President. It's political posing, nothing more, nothing less.
