Pragmatic Anti-impeachment arguments CRAP all over our Constitution.

Look. The facts are simple. Bush has committed offenses that make a case for impeachment strong and more deserving than lying about a BJ in the Oval Office.

There's been plenty of pragmatic arguments flying around as of late...many I suspect are plants to tamp down the grassroots OUTRAGE at our CRIMINAL President and the complicity of a Congress that holds politics over our Constitution.

The pragmatic/political argument that Dems shouldn't pursue impeachment because there aren't enough votes is a cowardice of justice. I guess, by extension, that District Attorneys should forget about prosecuting criminals because there might not be enough jury votes for conviction. Is this the logic? That justice is determined not by the facts and the crime, but by whether its worth it or not? Justice is supposed to be blind to avoid this very problem.

We have a DICTATOR for a President and those who oppose impeachment are either cowards and/or complicit in the downfall of our once great Republic.

Jefferson, Franklin, and other great founding men of this country would have moved for impeachment. What makes the courage of their convictions "quaint" now?
