Reply #18: Pelosi taking impeachment of Bush off table is unforgivable

[desktop]

This was a moment in time where the Democratic party could stand up and say we will not sit idly by while the President of the United States willfully and knowingly violates the constitution. By not acting in bringing impeachment proceedings to the floor, the Pelosi led Democratic party has set the stage for future Presidents to proceed in the same manner. Pelosi directly refused to bring up impeachment proceedings for political reasons, thinking we would get more Democrats elected without the proceedings. This is an outrageous lack of leadership and a sellout of the American people. It matters not whether an impeachment would be successful, it mattered to show which Congressmen believe in the rule of law and which will allow a dictatorship, the Constitution be damned.
