Reply #67: Congress

I think the big road block to impeachment is the war itself. If congress starts impeachment hearings the republickin's start screaming about impeaching a president during a time of war and how bad that would be for troop morale, emboldiening our enemy, etc.. It will become the rallying cry of the next election. The war, no matter how unpopular, is the great buffer for the administration. But it is also the most compelling argument for impeachment to stop precedent. If the bushies skate through their term, it tells future presidents that they should immediately start a war and then anything they do is O.K.

The Moyers peace was excellent. Ironic that he was playing devil's advocate to a conservative constitutional expert. It showed that conservatives really should be the one's screaming the loudest. Don't they claim that liberals are the ones who "invent" law instead of following the rule of law. There really are no conservatives in shrubs base, only republicans.
