Impeach now

Gonzalez will probably get caught in his lies. That shouldn't be news to anyone. He was lying from the get go. If this is proven, he should face charges.

This administration will eventually crumble under the weight of its corruption, its hubris and its impression that it is operating in 12th century England rather than 21st century America. To me the case for the impeachment of George Bush and Dick Cheney has never been stronger or more imperative.

For the future of our country, Congress must measure this administrations actions against the constitution and the law. It is not a matter of political triangulation-- who will benefit or who will not from impeachment proceedings. Bush and Cheney represent a threat to our constitution. They swore to uphold it. Yet they actively undermine it with every executive order, every act of contempt, every illegal act.

Feingold's proposal to censure is a start. But the real end game is impeachment, followed by conviction. In pursuing this, we not only hold Bush and Cheney accountable, we also fulfill the role the founders envisioned for citizens of the United States - as the ultimate balance to unchecked power.
