No one is going to convince me that bushitler won't be impeached over

[lonestarnot]

this. No one is going to tell me that the blindfold on Lady Justice is going to be removed. No one is going to tell me that the Court system in the United States is just going to turn and do an about face on this criminal at the top. No one is going to tell me that the SCOTUS is just a bunch of jesters, even though Rehnquist allowed them to take off the blindfold for the 2000 election. This is different. This is different because it is criminal in no uncertain terms. The act of spying against Americans is not clouded with uncertainty or a vote count, recount (and I am not minimizing a stolen election). It's black and white here, and Americans if properly instructed on the facts are not going to like what they see. Get it to the jury no matter the cost!

[MrModerate]

1. Yer an optimist . . .

"All presidents did it . . ."
"He was just protecting Americans . . ."
"He probably was authorized, anyway . . ."
"It's just democrats whining again . . ."

Nothing to see, folks. Move along.

[lonestarnot]

20. Not when they realize their rights as repukes are slipping one right at a

time, going going going until they are alllllllllllllll gone.

[katinmn]

2. I agree. We must stay focused on this. Cannot give an inch because

we know that they will keep escalating the abuses if the admin, the Republican Party and the media are allowed to obfuscate and slime their way out of an impeachable offense.

They've broken domestic and international laws many times. If Junior can trample on the Constitution, what's next?

Detention camps for dissenters? The plan is sitting on the shelf.

[lonestarnot]

5. Yes the plan is sitting on the shelf, on right at a time. Escalating the

anti one right at a time. And I will not sit by quietly. Taking my bullhorn into the streets!

[HereSince1628]

3. It's also about power. Congress and the Judiciary are jealous of it too

Being able to claim the power to check the excesses of the executive is one of their high value cards.

[lonestarnot]

9. Yes it's called Judicial Review. Remember the Judge?

[HereSince1628]

17. I think its one of those things from early US history by Marshall

but I could be wrong.

I hope like hell someone like Scalia or Thomas has repeated it.

[lonestarnot]

16. Marbury vs Madison, Chief Justice John Marshall, Read about it.

[Meldread]

4. Agreed.

If he will be impeached over anything, it will be this. He also admitted doing it, thus openly admitting that he broke the law. It's clear cut. Republicans would likely be open to the suggestion of Impeachment as many of them run for re-election in 2006. They are already on the defensive, and Bush is beginning to look like a drag on the party, especially after last months elections.

At the end of the day, in Washington, it's every man and woman for themselves. If you begin to weigh the ship down, you get thrown overboard.

[PatrioticOhioLiberal]

6. OK I won't try to convince you

I'll just mention one small thing...GOP controlled House, Senate, Courts, and not to be remiss, Whitehouse.

I've got a good supply of tissues handy for you when the time comes.
:hug:

[lonestarnot]

11. Pushaw! No tissues need for a soldier at arms.

[PatrioticOhioLiberal]

24. Ewwwww you mean you plan to use your shirtsleeve?

:wow:

Only joking, of course.

This part of your post, "and Americans if properly instructed on the facts are not going to like what they see... is the problematic part of getting the Evil Twig before congress for impeachment.

How long have we been screaming our lungs out trying to "properly intruct" the average lunkhead?

[lonestarnot]

30. This is not going to be a problem, merely an obstacle in my reasoned

opinion.

[randr]

7. A moment of national unity overtook all Americans

when the verdict to impeach Nixon came down. A collective sigh of relief blew the dark clouds from our nation. All Americans realized that our systems of law and order and congressional checks and balances was intact and no one, not even the temporary help we pace in power, could take it away.
Our Constitution became the sail that powered our ship of state and our elected officials performed their duties as prescribed.
We are far from the safe harbor we once sailed into.
A call for all good people to come to the aid of their country must ring out!

[lonestarnot]

12. Ringing, fighting, screaming!

[Silverhair]

13. Nixon faced a strongly Democratic congress. NT

[raccoon]

Amen. If he'd had a Republican Congress, things would have

turned out differently.

[marylanddem]

15. Here, here! great post. n/t

[lonestarnot]

29. Thank you marylanddem!

[tavalon]

34. Most diehard republicans I've spoken to

think Nixon got a raw deal. Now, of course, those same Republicans can't really tell you what Nixon did. But facts never got in the way of a good victimization story, now did they?

[liberal N proud]

8. It is our responsibility as citizens to do everything in our power

to make sure this is an issue and stays an issue until it is corrected and the perpetrators are brought to justice

[lonestarnot]

14. I have faith in the Constitution and God above. They will both inspire to

action! Even repukes cannot help but see what has happened here.

[G_j]

21. that is right, it is our duty, did MLK Jr. let the odds turn him around?

of course not

[lonestarnot]

28. HELL NO HE DIDN'T! HELL NO! He lives on! Just like our Constitution!

[texpatriot2004]

10. I think you are right on this nm

[lonestarnot]

18. We must be right on this or America is just gone.

19. The Oath Of Office

"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

Busted.

[lonestarnot]

23. sssoooooooooooooo busted! And don't forget the separation of powers.

Judges will not allow this power to be infringed upon! WILL NOT! Political party persuasion will mean nothing if their power is usurped in this manner! I know in my heart of hearts HE WILL BE IMPEACHED! GONZO! OUTTA THERE! FOOL!

[feelthebreeze]

22. We will make it happen, don't give in. This Democracy ain't broke yet.

[lonestarnot]

26. No, but it has damn sure been bruised.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

25. Giving Bush the election didn't take power away from them

but what Bush is doing now is a direct threat to their power. Though the SCOTUS doesn't impeach, they can rule on various things like making Bush give up information to the Judiciary Committee about snoopgate.

[lonestarnot]

27. Oh thank you! Just the words I have been searching for, direct threat to

their power and it will not be tolerated! NOT NOT NOT! If they could or would post to this thread they would all post a ;>).

[Just Me]

31. If an action which directly violates our Constitution isn't an,...

,...impeachable offense, then,...there are no impeachable offenses.

I have been of the opinion that the defrauding of the American people by the BushCO/neocon regime is an impeachable offense. They conspired to trick this country's people into supporting an illegal war based upon false pretenses.

Now, this regime has CLEARLY violated both our Constitution, breaching their oathes of office and the rule of law, and the lives of American citizens by intentionally spying on us. This is as egregious as it gets IMHO.

[lonestarnot]

36. here here!

[tavalon]

43. There have been so many impeachable offenses

that it's hard to keep up. The big difference is this one is easily understood by the average American and it is so cut and dried. No nuance at all.

This is the one that will take him down. It will help an awful lot if we take back the House and Senate but I finally think it will happen. Ask anyone - I am a diehard pessimist. It takes a lot for me to stand up with lonestarnot and say, yes, he will be impeached and what a party we will have. Followed of course by a couple of decades of fixing his shit piles all over the world.

[Just Me]

47. He even represented that he intends to continue to break the law.

Removal of him and his regime will be an inspiration that will help us clean up his "shit piles all over the world".

I sincerely believe there will be an audible sigh of relief around this great earth.

[lonestarnot]

52. I want to hear the sigh! Want to hear it! Feel it, smell it feel it!

[Just Me]

54. Me, too!!!

I can certainly imagine being part of that collective sigh of relief.

[lonestarnot]

60. Ah what a relief it would be.... How do you spell relief I-M-P-E-A-C-H

[kliljedahl]

32. This may be the one crime the mass of people cannot rationalize away

But with the repeated denials, explaining away & glossing over of all the other Bushco crimes, I wouldn't be surprised if this fades away too. Me, the eternal optimist.

42. Another reason to oppose Alito...

I hope the Senate Judiciary take this up before they take up the Alito nomination. If not, I hope this issue is brought out by Dems questioning Alito? Does the Constitution allow the Executive Branch to breach the Constitutional right against unreasonable searches and seizure? Just ask that question. General, elementary question that any citizen should know the answer to.

[lonestarnot]

45. He will have no choice but to answer in the negatory!

[rateyes]

48. It's a simple Constitutional question...

"Does the Constitution protect the American citizen from unreasonable searches and seizures, and does it require search warrants before searches are made?"

Anything but a "yes" answer gets him defeated. You are correct.

[lonestarnot]

51. Yes defeated, but need to impeach, he's not running for reelection! LOL

[rateyes]

53. I was talking about Alito's nomination to SCOTUS.

And, yes, let's IMPEACH Bush and Cheney!

55. The POTUS admitted to the commission of a felony!!!

He should be placed under arrest, right this minute!!! :grr:

[lonestarnot]

57. I definitely agree and don't understand why that hasn't been done!

58. Mr. President, I am placing you under arrest for violation of FISA.

You have the right to remain silent.

[More Than A Feeling]

63. That's what I like to hear

I feel the same way. All the evidence needed is in the statute in question, and the audio and video recordings of his confession. As much as the Republicans try to spin, they can't change the wording of the law. Only those who have invested their identity, not even in the Republican Party, but in President Bush himself, will refuse to denounce this travesty.
