Impeachment

Some communist rag called Barron’s says it’s time to consider impeachment. (via barry)
AS THE YEAR WAS DRAWING TO A CLOSE, we picked up our New York Times and learned that the Bush administration has been fighting terrorism by intercepting communications in America without warrants. It was worrisome on its face, but in justifying their actions, officials have made a bad situation much worse: Administration lawyers and the president himself have tortured the Constitution and extracted a suspension of the separation of powers.

(…)

Surely the “strict constructionists” on the Supreme Court and the federal judiciary eventually will point out what a stretch this is. The most important presidential responsibility under Article II is that he must “take care that the laws be faithfully executed.” That includes following the requirements of laws that limit executive power. There’s not much fidelity in an executive who debates and lobbies Congress to shape a law to his liking and then goes beyond its writ.

Willful disregard of a law is potentially an impeachable offense. It is at least as impeachable as having a sexual escapade under the Oval Office desk and lying about it later. The members of the House Judiciary Committee who staged the impeachment of President Clinton ought to be as outraged at this situation. They ought to investigate it, consider it carefully and report either a bill that would change the wiretap laws to suit the president or a bill of impeachment.

It is important to be clear that an impeachment case, if it comes to that, would not be about wiretapping, or about a possible Constitutional right not to be wiretapped. It would be about the power of Congress to set wiretapping rules by law, and it is about the obligation of the president to follow the rules in the Acts that he and his predecessors signed into law.

Some ancillary responsibility, however, must be attached to those members of the House and Senate who were informed, inadequately, about the wiretapping and did nothing to regulate it. Sen. John D. Rockefeller IV, Democrat of West Virginia, told Vice President Dick Cheney in 2003 that he was “unable to fully evaluate, much less endorse these activities.” But the senator was so respectful of the administration’s injunction of secrecy that he wrote it out in longhand rather than give it to someone to type. Only last week, after the cat was out of the bag, did he do what he should have done in 2003 — make his misgivings public and demand more information.

Published reports quote sources saying that 14 members of Congress were notified of the wiretapping. If some had misgivings, apparently they were scared of being called names, as the president did last week when he said: “It was a shameful act for someone to disclose this very important program in a time of war. The fact that we’re discussing this program is helping the enemy.”

Wrong. If we don’t discuss the program and the lack of authority for it, we are meeting the enemy — in the mirror.

I didn’t vote for any of the Bushes, and I am naturally inclined toward a more open and trustworthy kind of leadership. But coming on blogs like this one, and encountering the Hitler stuff, just drives me into the other camp. I’m not sure if it’s the insincerity that gets me, or just the utter stupidity and lack of perspective, but it certainly is off-putting for most of us who are waiting and hoping for some adult conversation in Washington and elsewhere. I certainly am not finding much beyond silly sound bites most places I look.

Silly me. I kind of appreciate that I can walk to the store or go to a ball game or concert without being searched, and without feeling in peril from some fanatical sect member. I’m not at all feeling that my civil liberties, or any my friends’, including the Iranian-born one, are in any significant danger. Even HE (the Iranian) understands why we are doing what we are; why my luggage is probed and the eletronics and health equipment are poked at. Why he is pulled aside for some extra checking more often than I am…. and then goes on his merry way with a smile, like we all are privileged to do.

It’s not that complicated. We are free to go where we want, to do whatever, and to practice whatever religion we want to (or not to practice, as in my case), to make money (legally) however we see fit. What’s the problem folks? What IS the problem? Considering that we are a society that is, in some ways, under attack, I think we’re doing pretty OK on civil liberties. Give me some concrete examples of how we are being trampled and denied this and that and abused and carted away.

Read the talking point please. Everything the Bush administration does is wrong!

New Speak requires it.

Happy Holidays to all!

There is no defense for his actions – and he and the rest of those involved need to be removed from power – and that includes any dem lackeys who went along with his survailance plans.

Who is man/woman enough to stand up and demand that impeachment of this cabal is the only way to save America from being the dicatorship it has become.

Remember it isn’t the big bright words that bush uses its the chuckle lisping sentences like….If this is was a dicatorship it would be easier and I was the dicator…

always Always listen to the small nonsense sounding words and sentences of bushco cause in those few words you will find the truth of what is going on and how it is to be done.

When bush was running for Cheney’s lackey I said this is our dicator no one was listening . All I heard was but he can run Thot’s, look at his time ,he’s a runner,he’s a christian fuk he’s neither…….

Calling all Good Men and Women to take a stand against Tryanny ,Congress come forth and help your country.

Lenin left the building with the following instructions:

“There is no need to disperse the Constituent Assembly: just let them go on chattering as long as they like..”

A prominent Bolshevik, Ivan Skvortsov-Stepanov, in a speech approved by Lenin, explained why the Bolsheviks didn’t feel obligated to submit to the democratically elected Constituent Assembly:

“How can you,” he wondered, “appeal to such a concept as the will of the whole people? For a Marxist “the people” is an inconceivable notion: the people does not act as a single unit. The people as a unit is a mere fiction

“In that we deny the principle of parliamentary democracy we strike the strongest blow for the right of the nation to the self-determination of its own life. For in the parliamentary system we see no genuine expression of the nation’s will–a will which cannot logically be anything else than a will to the maintenance of the nation–but we do see a distortion, if not a perversion, of that will. The will of a nation to the self-determination of its being manifests itself most clearly and is of most use when its most capable minds are brought forth. They form the representative leaders of a nation, they alone can be the pride of a nation–certainly never the parliamentary politician who is the product of the ballot box and thinks only in terms of votes”

Nürnberg, September 1, 1933; Völkischer Beobachter, September 2, 1933

“We are enemies of cowardly pacifism because we recognize that according to the laws of nature, struggle is the father of all things. We are enemies of democracy because we recognize that an individual genius represents at all times the best in his people and that he should be the leader. Numbers can never direct the destiny of a people. Only genius can do this”

Kulmbach, February 5, 1928; Völkischer Beobachter, February 9, 1928.

toys: (#20) – I can only hope that this whole wiretap fiasco will stay in the news and the the average American (and others) will wise up. Of course, that doesn’t include Fox News viewers – they’re a lost cause.
