They are moving from desperate hope to all-out-PANIC!!! mode now....
WHAT? It seems to me he has worked too much with the democRats!
It would be hard to make it more clear than an impeachment was political than by having it triggered by an completely constitutional use of executive reprieve.
Belittle them at our peril. We’re nearing a constitutional crisis. The left will tear this country apart in the coming months if given the chance.

MoveOn.org .. calling on Congress to impeach Vice President Cheney if he defies congressional subpoenas issued to investigate the Bush administration's purge of prosecutors at the Justice Department...The moonbats don't realize, forget, or don't care, that regardless of what Executive Powers Jimmah ceded to Congress after Watergate all those years ago, that don't mean sqaut in the real world of today. And THAT is what VEEP Cheney and Dubya has been saying and doing since Sept 11. 'WE' are the Executive Branch and we are reclaiming all our Constitutional authority.They always forget that even Lefty 'legal scholars' agree Dubya has the Constitutional authority to fire any of them, any time, for any reason - "Hey, I don't like your tie - you're fired".
Leaving aside the detailed debate over when, how and why impeachment proceedings would ever begin, Congress should never have taken the prospect of impeachment off the table.
Dam straight. Let's 'leave aside' the how and why, like .. uh the Constitutional grounds for impeachment, let's just do it anyway.
It is a constitutionally protected check against runaway executive power and lawlessness -- problems that Americans are quite familiar with lately.
I can't find 'runaway executive power' in the Constitution. Do DUmmies have a different version??? But as to 'lawlessness' they have a point. Philly, Chicago, Detroit, Atlanta, New Orleans, LA, etc, etc, are crime ridden Quagmires. We need to impeach ... oh wait, those cities are run by Democrats. Oops, never mind.
When Congress tries to govern without its full power,....
Uh, Congress doesn't 'govern', it 'legislates'.
Without further consequences ...Bush's ... refusal to work with ... the coequal branch and mounting investigations ... Bush and Cheney ... defy congressional investigations...
Major brain fart again by the Left. Since Congress is a "coequal" branch, what gives them ANY authority to mount "investigations" of the Executive Branch? Can Dubya investigate Congress? Uh, no. Can Congress 'investigate' a SCOTUS ruling? .. yeah, when pigs fly.
Don't like it, go pound sand.
“Today MoveOn.org, the powerhouse group of 3.2 million political activists, launched an unprecedented petition calling on Congress to impeach Vice President Cheney”
God, I wish they would. As I have pointed out on other threads, I’d love to see Dick Cheney, president of the Senate, presiding over his own impeachment. Can you say, “Case dismissed”? LOL
Jorge, are you going to get rid of Chertoff and start enforcing the immigration laws that are currently on the books? How about that border fence that the Congress told you to build last year?
