What makes no impeachment for crimes against the constitution, and thus, the people
of the United States, and thus you and I, reasonable or "reasoned" through waiting out the term and having a few investigations with a rebuke or two? Because our representatives say so? Or better yet, what makes those that call for impeachment radical or extreme, not clear thinking and/or reactionary? Responses to this should be interesting but I had to ask since those words are bantered around and thrown around like loose change.

1. The Case for Impeachment
The case could not be made better than by Barbara Jordan.

2. I'd like to see Bill Clinton make the case for impeaching bush to the public...
He was impeached for lying about a blowjob. Seems to me he's best qualified to state why bush should be impeached. Yeah, I know...not likely, but wishful thinking on my part.

3. There is NO connection between the impeachment of Clinton and the crimes of Cheney/Bush ...
... and repeating the association is akin to saying "al Qaeda" and "Saddam" ad infinitum. It creates a perception that one has something to do with the other and that's sheer propaganda to offer cover and concealment to the current regime. The LAST thing anyone interested in justice should be doing is helping create that misconception, imho.

4. I wasn't trying to imply there was a connection...
I just thought it would be interesting to hear him make the case for impeaching bush since he was impeached himself. That's all. :)

6. Because they are going to send censure letters!
And if those don't work, they will take away their car keys and cell phones!

Congress will get 'em!
