The Case For Impeachment
by RonChusid
I’ve been hoping that Harpers would put their current issue, with cover story on The Case For Impeachment on line, at least for us subscribers. Finally a portion is available.
I’ve noted several articles recently which seemed to be trying to talk Democrats out of impeaching Bush if they take control of Congress arguing that support for Clinton and opposition to the Republican-controlled Congress increased after the impeachment. I don’t find these arguments very compelling. Clinton was impeached for bogus reasons. Bush’s misconduct is exactly what the founding fathers had in mind when they included impeachment in the Constitution. Besides, even if the impeachment was unpopular with many, Republicans haven’t done all that badly politically since then. An impeachment trial exposing Bush and his cronies might be what is needed to turn this around.

This could turn out to be an important article.
BTW – If you’ve managed to read a book or two this past year, you may want to come over to my place and check out the nominees for Best Political Book. There’s already a controversy brewing…

That best political book choice is difficult (and I haven’t even read two of the books on the list). They are so different I’d have a had time saying which is really better.
I could confuse matters by listing other books which I liked better than some on the list, but you probably don’t need me doing that.
Amen! They need to go…NOW! I hope this belief is catching.
