Reply #11: No fear, not even of death, trumps their sworn duty . . [View All]

We expect members of the armed services to risk life and limb to support and defend. Members of Congress take the same oath. Why should we expect less of them? Why should they expect less of themselves?

Bush and Cheney are committing their war crimes and conducting their criminal surveillance operation in plain sight. Their attack on the Constitution is far advanced. Americans are torturers NOW. Members of Congress -- Republican and Democratic -- are sworn to defend. Impeachment is the weapon we gave them fulfill their oath when the attack comes from with within the halls of power.

The case for impeachment is clear, compelling, and complete-- it has been for years. Unnecessary delay is dereliction. Each day they face the choice anew: duty or complicity.

Their oath is an individual oath, their duty an individual duty. Regardless of how many or how few join them, there is no time like the present for any Member of Congress to break the bonds of complicity by introducing or co-sponsor Articles of Impeachment and making the case.
