It's more like an indictment.
Yeah, the thing with Clinton was political bullshit, pure and simple. It was manufactured and maneuvered.
Forgetting the abuse of the process with Clinton, impeachment was made expressly for intransigience like now. I wanted to enumerate the scandals and I just couldn't - there are just so, so many. It could be Cheney refusing to submit audits, it could be lying about the Iraq war, it could be refusing to testify under oath about anything, it could be illegal or questionably legal stuff from the signing statements to war criminality to torture, to not upholding the constitution. I know Henry Waxman or Harry Reid are keeping a list - it would take me weeks to go through all the postings and compile an even partial list of abuses.
THIS IS WHAT IMPEACHMENT IS FRICKIN' FOR! For God's sake, at least do a gddamn impeachment hearing! Everyone's so gddamn afraid, like we'll bring back the bad memories of the last Clinton years. Well, the last Clinton years as regards impeachment were a farce - that's why we don't want to do a faux impeachment. But this is the real thing. Again, I ask, if impeachment wasn't meant for stuff like this, what is it meant for?
Nancy Pelosi, I don't know if they have pictures of you in your underwear cavorting with ferrets or what, but your failure to even consider this as an option is appalling. This should be the NUMBER ONE priority. Not SCHIP (as important as that is), not anything else, but restoring the sense of law and order to this country, the sense of Constitutionality, the sense of balance of power, the sense that it is STILL OUR COUNTRY.
ALL the other shit can wait. Before we get to any of that, I want the warm and fuzzies to know that we still actually run our country. Us. The little people. Only then can we do the things that need to be done.
