14. Watch "Bill Moyers Journal" on PBS and see if you still feel this way
speaking of the discussion on impeachment that took place last night. Both guests (one a republican) felt is was the obligation (not an option) of congress to impeach both bush and cheney for their total disregard for the constitution, and that the congressional Dems (and Pelosi in particular) were derelict in their duty by failing to act.

They both stressed that the most desireable outcome of impeachment was a change in behaviors by bush and dick, and an acknowledegement on their parts that their actions had been wrong. But I got the impression that neither felt that was likely to occur so the best practical outcome would be removal from office.

They further stressed that the founding fathers intended for impeachment to be used much less sparingly than it has as yet, as a tool for curbing imperial ambitions on the part of the executive branch.

The point is, it is Pelosi's JOB to not only put impeachment on the table but to lead the house in making sure it takes place.

As of now she isn't doing her job.
