Reply #272: Good thing we're holding them accountable for what they CAN do. [View All]

Nobody has called on them to do ANYTHING they "can't do."

Our so-called leaders publicly complain that the bushncheney White House has declared itself above all law. They complain that bushncheney have turned Americans into torturers that spy on their fellow citizens. They describe intolerable violations of the Constituion.

And then they tell us "We cannot actually accuse/impeach them!! Are you kidding? What's wrong with you? Leave us Alone already!"

We are pointing out little things like:



They do not swear and oath to "support and defend the homeland" or "the USA" or "America" or "the nation." They swear to support and defend the Constitution of the United States. Without the Constitution -- our common contract, amended and entrusted to us to protect and perfect -- we are nothing. When our common contract is broken, there is no true America to "support and defend."

Their oath is not an oath to win; it is an oath to fight -- to "support and defend." Impeachment is the weapon we gave them to enforce the Constitution when constitut8ional officers in the executive or judiciary violate the terms. Their refusal to take up that weapon and fight is a violation of their oath.

It couldn't be simpler.

Like squatters, Bush and Cheney are laying claim to unconstitutional power through openly hostile possession. (With the emphasis on "open.")

When squatters move in, it is the property owner's responsibility to commence eviction proceedings. If the property owner fails to serve notice for long enough, squatters claim title, and Poof! -- the property owner isn't the property owner anymore.

We the People "own" the nation. Members of Congress, who we empowered and charged with the duty of evicting (impeaching) such trespassers, are refusing to act. They are allowing Bush and Cheney to claim "ownership" of unconstitutional power under the old adage, "possession is 9/10ths of the law." (An adage that is grounded in common law.)

Surrendering your property to squatters without a fight is insanity, but that insanity doesn't compare to the magnitude of the insanity of surrendering a nation without a fight. But that is precisely what Members of Congress are doing when they say that the immediate impeachment of Bush and Cheney can't, won't, or shouldn't happen.

We are not saying "you must remove the violators."

We are saying "You are sworn to fight to impeach and remove the violators."

We are saying "Choose: Fight or be complicit in war crimes."

We are saying "Demand impeachment now. Break the bonds of complicity. Take the first step on the road to redemption."
