Bruce Fein Better Not Have Compromising Photos Of Himself Out There
I can only imagine the lengths Rove is going to to find such so he can mail them to Fein wrapped in tissue and tied with a shiny ribbon.

1. I love Fein. This is some of what he's warned us of:
http://www.pbs.org/moyers/journal/07132007/profile.html

According to Fein, Cheney has:

Asserted Presidential power to create military commissions, which combine the functions of judge, jury, and prosecutor in the trial of war crimes.

Claimed authority to detain American citizens as enemy combatants indefinitely at Guantanamo Bay on the President's say-so alone.

Initiated kidnappings, secret detentions, and torture in Eastern European prisons of suspected international terrorists.

Championed a Presidential power to torture in contravention of federal statutes and treaties.

Engineered the National Security Agency's warrantless domestic surveillance program targeting American citizens on American soil in contravention of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978.

Orchestrated the invocation of executive privilege to conceal from Congress secret spying programs to gather foreign intelligence, and their legal justifications.

Summoned the privilege to refuse to disclose his consulting of business executives in conjunction with his Energy Task Force.

Retaliated against Ambassador Joseph Wilson and his wife Valerie Plame, through chief of staff Scooter Libby, for questioning the administration's evidence of weapons of mass destruction as justification for invading Iraq.

4. I love Fein.
How the world has changed.

I hated that guy when he was defending everything Reagan did when he worked for the Reagan regime in the 1980s.

But I too, love what he is saying now.

And I believe he is indeed basing his opinions about impeaching Bush on solid Constitutional principles.

Fein comes from the point of view that impeachment is a requirement. Tweety wants to leave room for "maybe". Fein is playing hardball for real.
