Impeachment: Today's the Day Dennis Goes After W!

[rjones2818]

Today, on the House floor (the session is scheduled to begin at 2 pm eastern according to C-Span), the Right Honorable Dennis J. Kucinich (D - OH10) will bring Article Impeachments against George W. Bush, the President of the United States of America.

It's what we're waiting for, isn't it? After all, the administration has been criminal since the beginning, whether from design or incompetence. It's time to bring the full power of the House Judiciary Committee to bear upon W's crooked administration, including W himself.

If you haven't already, contact your http://www.google.com/search?q=contact+congress&sourceid=ie7&rls=com.microsoft:en-US&ie=utf8&oe=utf8">House member and ask/suggest/demand that they support Dennis in this effort to save and protect the Constitution of the United States.

Also, if you appreciate Dennis' principled stand in the defense of our Constitution and Republic, http://kucinich.us/contribute.html">contribute to his re-election to keep his voice from being removed from Congress!

Go Dennis! :woohoo:

12. On this day in history, 2008.01.28, another one bites the dust bin of infamy...

Too bad no one impeached the first George Bush too is all I can say, not to mention Reagan.

And why is this Bush so impeachable. Well, part of what he covers up is Iran-Contra and other past crimes of the first Bush:

George Bush Sr. May Face Charges: Conspiring to Kidnap and Murder Political Activists

I keep reminding myself, "The Corrupt Bastards ARE the GOP, Stupid."

Though it's certainly more admirable than the Sancho-esque crap the rest of the party seems to be doing.

14. To: Congressman Van Hollen

Subject: Please uphold the Constitution

Congressman Van Hollen,

I am writing to urge you to support Congressman Dennis Kucinich's efforts to hold this administration accountable through impeachment hearings. You have a sworn duty to uphold the Constitution. The legislative branch of our government is the most powerful branch, and the first power given to this branch, to both the house and the senate, is the power of impeachment. James Madison and George Mason insisted that impeachment be included in our Constitution as a remedy because the President might pardon a crime that he himself is party to.

It is clear that this administration has violated the Constitution on many occasions: illegal wiretapping, counseling officials to ignore subpoenas, obstruction of justice (destruction of tapes) - the list goes on.

This cannot be a nation of laws if you do not uphold the Constitution. Nothing on your agenda is more important, or takes precedence over upholding the Constitution. Nothing.

Thank you,
J* T*

18. It's also the day America will not hear a word about it. Again.

I simply cannot believe anyone gets excited about this stuff. Does anyone honestly think this will even make the evening news, let along advance to any sort of action by our elected "leaders?" You're dreaming if you do.

22. Here's a statement from Dennis' office on the impeachment initiative:

Washington, Jan 28 - Today, Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) released the following statement:

"After making a statement on the floor of the House of Representatives last week indicating my intent to introduce articles of impeachment against George W. Bush, I met with members of the Judiciary Committee. After that brief meeting, I am hopeful there will be an inquiry by the Judiciary Committee. I will give them the opportunity to proceed before introducing articles of impeachment."

23. Perhaps The Fuse Is Lit ?!? -- Keep Hammering The Committee

Kucinich has them publicly on notice now.

Not cause for optimism, but I admit being a tad surprised.

24. There was no way he would be allowed to introduce them today

just before the SOTU. The Democratic Party Leadership feels that would be an embarrassment. To them.

[Senator]

25. Perhaps. But there were other excuses he might have used...

...that wouldn't falsely imply some new-found optimism for the Judiciary Committee process.
