55. Proclamations like this are precisely what we need to nip in the bud.
Proclamations like this are precisely what we need to nip in the bud.

There are so many variables and so many stages to the process, it is impossible to predict the outcome. We have no idea what an Impeachment Inquiry will turn up. As I noted in the post just above, the Republicans could beat us to the punch if the revelations keep coming and Bush's approval falls below 25% ... and Demands for Impeachment are just the thing that could push the numbers down there.

And, even if we had a crystal ball that told us it would be impossible to vote Articles of Impeachment out of the 109th House of Representatives, it doesn't matter. We would still have to demand Impeachment, on principle.

If you fail to object -- loud and clear -- to the abuses of power you see, you become an accomplice.

I for one do not want to be an accomplice in the horrors committed by the Bush-Syndicate.

Bottom line: Our elected officials have sworn and oath to protect and defend the Constitution. If they fail to do everything in their power to investigate and punish abuses of power, they are violating their oath.
