So, if he has now convinced himself that global warming is happening, and he has listened to those who know it is happening, it scares him. When he is scared he acts.

So, don’t pull out your hair over the shock of having a traitor in power — FIGHT BACK, and fight back in terms of the consequences of such an act — and not in the day-by-day reaction machine he wants us to remain.

We MUST demand justice, justice, justice, justice, justice, justice, justice, justice, justice, justice, justice, justice, justice, justice, justice, justice, justice, justice, justice…

…and stop acting like this is ‘politics.’ Politics do not allow treason or gross criminal negligence. I –SO– wish people would stop acting like this is politics as usual, or like they have to remain somehow ‘civil.’ Remain nonviolent, and DEMAND JUSTICE!

By doing this, they will play directly into Rove's hands, wasting time and energy on another distraction with no substance. Congress, as someone noted in an earlier thread, does not comprehend that this has stopped being about progressive vs conservative, or Dem vs Rethug, or whatever other political struggle they envision. This is now about George W. Bush vs the United States. I don't think Congress can re-align their thinking from election politics to the reality of a constitutional crisis.
