The Impeachment of George W. Bush

The thought of another impeachment is a horrid thought. Especially since the evidence that will have to be presented will be a sickening embarrassment to the entire country and all of its citizens.

But, if we are a Democracy and the majority of us understand what being a citizen in a Democracy really means, we have no choice but to impeach Cheney and Bush, and try the others in this administration in courts of law.

The Impeachment of George W. Bush:

"Finally, it has started. People have begun to speak of impeaching President George W. Bush--not in hushed whispers but openly, in newspapers, on the Internet, in ordinary conversations and even in Congress. As a former member of Congress who sat on the House Judiciary Committee during the impeachment proceedings against President Richard Nixon, I believe they are right to do so.

I can still remember the sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach during those proceedings, when it became clear that the President had so systematically abused the powers of the presidency and so threatened the rule of law that he had to be removed from office. As a Democrat who opposed many of President Nixon's policies, I still found voting for his impeachment to be one of the most sobering and unpleasant tasks I ever had to undertake. None of the members of the committee took pleasure in voting for impeachment; after all, Democrat or Republican, Nixon was still our President. "
