[karlrschneider]

if you can possibly avoid (missing) it.

1. Yeah, but this guy is wrong when he says

"we know it's not the third reich." I'm becoming pretty sure it is.

[AlwaysDemocrat]

2. Watching it now

I wish the members of Congress would watch it!

[ShortnFiery]

3. These two Constitutional Scholars are OUTSTANDING!

May God Bless their efforts to save Our Constitution. :patriot:

CONGRESS MUST IMPEACH NOW!!! :thumbsup:

[stellanoir]

4. They are outrageously passionate

and really well versed.

Really impressively refreshing.

Need some of helderheid's "impeachmints" around now.

[5X]

5. how many people around here would disagree with these two,

those that would are idiots and traitors.

[karlrschneider]

6. Fein is a true conservative. He wrote up the Clinton impeachment charges.

If HE is worried about Bushco, to the point of demanding impeachment, it's pretty goddamn huge.

[5X]

8. My point exactly. Impeachment should have been all over the table,

the floor, the walls, everywhere.

[karlrschneider]

10. I'm writing letters (not email) right and left (as it were)

to congresscritters. Might not do much good but sure as hell can't hurt.

7. it's starting in a minute. i'll be there. n/t

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

9. YES! This is the best of Moyers' shows so far.

These guys are tearing the Bushies apart. "Bush is totally heedless of any honor or accountability," says Bruce Fein, the conservative.

"Acting like a king is an impeachable offense."

[defendandprotect]

11. They included impeachment of CHENEY . . .

though they didn't mention this . . .


QUOTE:
From Judiciary In '74-
"
If The President Be Connected In Any
Suspicious Manner With Any Person..."
The following is from a report written and released by
the Judiciary Committee in 1974 in the aftermath of the Watergate
crisis.

In the (Constitutional) convention George Mason argued that the
President might use his pardoning power to "pardon crimes which were advised
by himself" or, before indictment or conviction, "to stop inquiry and
prevent detection." James Madison responded:

If the President be connected, in any suspicious manner, with any
person, and there be grounds to believe he will shelter him, the House of
Representatives can impeach him; they can remove him if found guilty...

....................

Madison went on to say contrary to his position in the Philadelphia
convention, that the President could be suspended when suspected, and his
powers would devolve on the Vice President, who could likewise be
suspended until impeached and convicted, if he were also suspected.

UNQUOTE

Evidently, the Libby "pardon" is a big factor in increased interest in impeachment
though the two guests noted that there were many more impeachable and worse offenses by Bush.

I also don't think we should forget the insane proposal by Cheney and then Bush last week that they are not part of the Executive Branch which suggests they were trying to deflect some kind of a crisis which caused DELUSIONS.

And, let's also keep in mind that the criminally minded Gonzales has given his blessing to the suggestion that the White House and former aides can ignore Congressional subpeonas.

12. OH MY GOD! IT WAS FAN-FUCKING-TASTIC!!!
