2 WHEREAS, Section 603 of Jefferson's Manual of the Rules of
3 the United States House of Representatives allows federal
4 impeachment proceedings to be initiated by joint resolution of
5 a state legislature; and

Won't happen. It's too good to be true. The administration or the Republican-controlled senate will make this disappear.

Other people can occasionally be useful, especially as minions. I want lots of minions.

Utterly nonsensical and pointless. There is no case here, as Bush did nothing illegal. Not one of those so called charges is legitimate OR impeachable. He was well w/ in his power, there was no Geneva rules violated, the Valerie Plame case? ( HA! Even Scooter Libby isn't being charged for that! ) and there's not one damn bit of evidence suggesting there was any cooked intel. It's just another pointless waste of the public's time, $ and trust in their elected officials.

A sad and petty political stunt during a time when real events are occuring in the world. These clowns aren't even fit to hold seats on their local city councils.

People love a happy ending. So every episode, I will explain once again that I don't like people. And then Mal will shoot someone. Someone we like. And their puppy. - Joss

Yeah, it seems pretty transparent. It will never pass the House Judiciary Committee, assuming it even passes Illinois legislation, and my guess is that is exactly what the authors expect to happen.

Bush did break the law with the wiretapping, there is no doubt about it. There are a number of Republican politicians that are against him on that one. Unfortunately, his administration successfully used the "OH MY GOD TERRORISTS" spin and people fell for it again because no one wants to be thought of as anti-american and that's exactly what you are if you criticize Bush & Co.

Was typing and listening to the radio. Meant to say Chicago. Been there even, cool city. Lots going for it, except for the politics.

Faux pas aside, it still doesn't dismiss the idiocy of their little effort. Clearly, Bush broke no laws.

If you call a world were Islamo nut cases don't slit throats of unarmed flight attendents and pilots as they then hijack the plane and fly it into very large buildings " better ", then yes. Better worlds.

Think you you want, just don't murder innocents, and you'll be fine.

I undestand. You mock and ridicule others because you refuse to deal on an intellectually honest level. Why bother w/ the busy details when you can side step everything and just give out simplistic " he's a dummy " replies ?

So if my list of books read doesn't exactly match or exceed yours, I'm stupid ? Wow, that's a classic, specious arguement. Well done!

What's going on here??? I certainly see no reason to assume Auraptor didn't understand what I was alluding to. He just didn't agree, fair enough.

But I'm still pretty blown away how precisely the Bush administration is following the dystopian path laid out in the book. I re-read it recently and was stunned at how closely it paralleled the rise of the Straussian/Neo-cons. Even down to redefining words and playing technical games with the language. That's why I threw the quotes up there. Obviously AU disagrees, but I'm pretty sure he 'gets it'.
