    Bush Impeachment

    Somebody found a trick in the House rules that will let a state legislature introduce presidential impeachment proceedings. And Illinois is going for it.

    Should HJR0125 be passed by the Illinois General Assembly, the US House will be forced by House Rules to take up the issue of impeachment as a privileged bill, meaning it will take precedence over other House business.

    Sounds like fun. (California and Maine look to jump on the bandwagon.)

    The Case for Impeachment

    Before reading the report, I wouldn’t have expected to find myself thinking that such a course of action was either likely or possible; after reading the report, I don’t know why we would run the risk of not impeaching the man. We have before us in the White House a thief who steals the country’s good name and reputation for his private interest and personal use; a liar who seeks to instill in the American people a state of fear; a televangelist who engages the United States in a never-ending crusade against all the world’s evil, a wastrel who squanders a vast sum of the nation’s wealth on what turns out to be a recruiting drive certain to multiply the host of our enemies. In a word, a criminal

    Saddam Hussein is a Tyrant and a Threat to Democracy and Deserves Removal from the Presidency for His Litany of Unjust and Barbaric Crimes

    Saddam Hussein’s intolerable use of weapons of mass destruction against enemies; unprecedented aggression against and occupation of a country which posed no threat to his own; routine kidnapping, torture, murder and secret prison system; wholesale slaughter of citizens from other countries; imprisonment of political rivals held for years without charges; and secret spying on his very own countrymen without court order or legislative approval, demonstrates beyond a reasonable doubt that this so-called “President” was a dangerous rogue, a tyrant, and a grave threat—of the highest order—to worldwide peace, stability and democracy.
    His immediate removal from unelected power was…and is…a completely justified imperative.

    Live Vote: Should Bush be impeached?

    85% say yes. It’s an internet poll, so I bet it’s a bit biased. But I think this thing is getting big. Critical mass?

    Deserves Impeachment

    As political strategy and as public policy, the impeachment of Mr. Bush is an unappealing prospect. (Besides, if he could be thrown out somehow, who would want Dick Cheney to succeed him?) And yet, the actions and attitudes of this President raise the question of how else we can preserve the bedrock principles of a democratic republic.

    If He Lied, He Must be Tried - A Majority Now Favors Impeachment

    John Zogby confesses to having been “surprised” at the latest result, calling the 19 percent shift in favor of impeachment over four months’ time “remarkable” and “much higher than I expected.”

    Well, he sure fucking lied.
