42. I used to feel that way too....
Edited on Sun Jul-22-07 03:21 PM by Vyan
now my thinking has progressed and matured. I don't want revenge, I don't even care about symbols so much - but we do have to take a stand for the rule of law and to preserve our co-equal branches of governemnt.

Impeaching Bush isn't the only or even best way to do that. Dismantling his Unitary Executive claims one by one, brick by brick will do it too. The first and worst of those is his claim that he can wage War anytime, anywhere with anyone in any manner he so chooses without oversight or consequences.
