For DUers opposed to IMPEACHMENT ASAP - a question for you.
Advertisements [?]
As a recent covert to the "impeach ASAP" camp (per my journal), I am very empathetic to both sides of the view. For those of you against impeachment ASAP - a hypothetical question:


Is there an act of war, legislation, or behavior by Bush/Cheney (either overt or found on discovery) that would push you to the point where you might change your mind and say, "that's it, we must at least put impeachment on the table ASAP."


This is genuinely asked without sarcasm and to seek greater clarity. I recently reached a point where I believe the insane actions of our president, and his criminal disregard for the will of the people, necessitates action which trumps our legislative mandates. That action is impeachment ASAP. This does not negate our legislative goals in any way; it is simply a matter of what takes greater precedent at the moment. IMHO, saving lives does.

In the end, we ALL seek regime change. Ideally, we could move forward both with legislative changes (raise min wage, decrease war funding, restore habeas corpus) AND launch a formal impeachment inquiry in the House for a vote. I'm grateful that where ever one sits on the impeachment debate here at DU or in our party; that our big BLUE tent is big enough to hold (and debate) divergent views!
