Impeachment Review...Bill Moyers....The Case FOR Impeachment.
Advertisements [?]
Little Scottie Mc, bless his venal heart, has catalyzed a renewed cry for IMPEACHMENT.
I remembered viewing a recent report on Bill Moyers Journal that made the strongest case FOR impeachment that I had heard.

Below are some clips from the transcript of that show. If you have broadband, you can view the entire shows at the links provided.
Enjoy!



A public opinion poll from the American Research Group recently reported that more than four in ten Americans — 45% — favor impeachment hearings for President Bush and more than half — 54% — favored impeachment for Vice President Cheney.


"The founding fathers expected an executive who tried to overreach, and expected the executive would be hampered and curtailed by the legislative branch... They have basically renounced — walked away from their responsibility to oversee and check." — Bruce Fein


"On January 20th, 2009, if George Bush and Dick Cheney are not appropriately held to account this Administration will hand off a toolbox with more powers than any President has ever had, more powers than the founders could have imagined. And that box may be handed to Hillary Clinton or it may be handed to Mitt Romney or Barack Obama or someone else. But whoever gets it, one of the things we know about power is that people don't give away the tools." — John Nichols
