Impeach Bush & Cheney!!
Since the vice president’s decision to grant amnesty to “Scooter” there’s been a lot of talk about what the American people will take from the decision to allow his former lackey and convicted felon to escape jail. I think there are two main things, no matter what anyone believes, about this that are apparent to every American.
- The president has decided that his judgment is superior to that of the 12 citizens on the jury, the judge in the case, and that of the appeals court judges as well.
- This is a luxury that they will never be afforded to them.
Bush apologists and foes of Democracy on the far-right like Sen. Cornyn, Rep. John Carter, et al, can say what they will, and they will, but no matter how “complicated” the case was, 12 of Mr. Libby’s peers, that saw the evidence, and went through the trial understood it all very well and convicted him. The president told them all he knows better then they do.
When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal….
Acts of obstruction of justice like this and the many other acts perpetrated by this mis-administration are why impeachment was put in our Constitution. If not used for this purpose why have it as an option at all? It’s past time for this all to end. Impeachment Is the Right Response.
