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.
oh well..
