Poll question: Who do you believe gave the most valuable testimony at the
While the "I" word could not be said, we all know that the hearing held today by the House Judiciary Committee was a result of groundswell of support in America for impeachment.

<skip>

Each and every person fighting to end the Bush administration's abuse of power know this is a step in the right direction and was not the end of a fight for justice. While it was a small victory, this hearing is a beginning of a new battle.

The witnesses put forth testimony that will be instrumental in pushing Congress to support impeachment hearings and proceedings.

Which witness in your opinion provided the most valuable testimony for those fighting to end the Bush administration's abuse of power? Whose testimony offers us the most hope for impeachment?

1. Apples & Oranges
Each had something important to add to the conversation and gave substantiation to the case being made

5. I'd Be Hard Pressed
Cause every time one of them started speaking I'd go right, oh right, I'd forgotten about that. The beauty of the panel was the wonderful diversity of thought, the 2 enablers aside. There was one statement by Bob Barr I thought was important as a warning for the future. It was that each succeeding administration regards what the previous administration has done, meaning what they've gotten away with, as the floor not the ceiling.

3. Holtzman and Fein can't be beat . . . but Bugliosi pulled it together for the average guy/gal ---
Holtzman and Fein are both tremendous --- they weren't presenting EVIDENCE as Bugliosi was.

They were showing the STONEWALLING of the administration and how Congress is being blocked

at every turn -- only response being impeachment.

Holtzman responded that she thought it should be a "two-fer" . . .

4. I concur.
Holtzman and Fein were brilliant. Bugliosi added the passionate punch.

8. I didn't see the whole thing.
I got about 2 hours worth, though.

I can't pick just one. I'd say Holtzman, Fein, and Bugliosi, but others were important, as well. I was pleased to see the number of people who stepped up to the plate to advocate for the Constitution. They outnumbered, as far as I could tell, the "opposition," and offered clear and compelling testimony.
