99. No. Their first duty is to STOP the harm . . .
Edited on Mon Oct-23-06 10:56 PM by pat_k
. . by taking up the fight to remove from office.

Impeachment is the weapon we gave Congress to defend the Constitution against attacks from within the halls of power.

Like a cop pulling over a drunk driver to protect the public from harm, the first duty is to get the car off the road and "take the keys" (i.e., take away the power to do harm).

The police wouldn't be much use to us if they followed Madam Pelosi's example (i.e., They wouldn't get any drunks off the road if they kept their distance and said "Gee, we'd better pretend we AREN'T pulling him over! No sirens now!")

Tragically, when it comes to rescuing our Consitituion, Madam Pelosi isn't much use to us.

What part of "Drunk with Power" don't our so-called leaders understand?
