Making the Case for Impeachment

If the Democrats do not win back the House and Senate, there will be no chance in hell of holding this administration acountable, until they leave office.

If the Democrats do not seek to hold Bush, Cheney and compnay accountable, once the have the majority, we should tear the Democratic Party apart.

Gary Leupp: Making the Case for Impeachment:

The just-published The Case for Impeachment: The Legal Argument for Removing President George W. Bush from Office by CounterPuncher Dave Lindorff and Barbara Olshansky is more than a manual for the members of Congress---those who under the constitution are empowered to impeach high officials---who might consider Bush's impeachment after the November elections. It's a compact (275 pages, including 60 pages of appendices and footnotes) catalogue of administration deceit and criminality that should encourage any honest still-unconvinced person to join the movement to drive out the Bush regime. As the authors observe, it will require a growing movement to force the politicians, who've been characterized so far by abject cowardice, to move forward on the procedure. If they do, we'll be able to thank the authors for helping them make the right choice. If they don't, the work will stand as an implicit indictment of them while continuing to inform those serious about real 'regime change' in this country.

In their preface the authors declare optimistically, 'If a Democratic majority is elected to the House in November 2006, we are confident that a bill of impeachment will be introduced early in the next Congress.' (p. xi).
