Finally news coverage of Impeachment issue

Today, CNN became one of the only news outlets to cover the House Judiciary Committee hearing which was held yesterday and only covered by CSPAN and radio station KPFA in Berkeley, CA. For the complete news article click here.

They closed the Comments on the article so I couldn't post one there but if I could I would have said the following:

According to testimony by Constitutional experts (both Republican and Democrat) there are 2 good reasons to file one Article of Impeachment Inquiry. First, it stops the President NOW from using Executive Privilege to stop Congress from investigating the CIA leak and who authored the use of torture. Ans secondly, it prevents President Bush, for the rest of his term, from granting immunity from prosecution, as a blanket order for those who may have committed crimes.

Those are two of the best reasons to start this process immediately!

Suggestions for this Democratic Congress

Headline today reads: "Bush claims executive privilege on CIA leak" and there is a battle brewing by House Democrats and the President and his surrogate, the Attorney General Mike Mukasey, to get testimony on what happened by whom and when regarding both Vice President Cheney and President Bush. This may be of historical importance to some, but at this stage of the Bush Presidency and the general state of affairs we have on our hands, with Financial institutions on the precipice of disaster, a possible run on banks, continued difficulty in our war in Afghanistan against the Taliban with increased casualties there, it's about time the Democratic Congress wakes up and moves forward. It needs to be preparing suggestions for solutions to implement Barack Obama's strategies at home and abroad. They tire me to the point of apathy but every once in a while I get mad enough to write here to vent my frustration.

There is plenty we can do to Bush, Cheney et al when they leave office. Read the new book by Vincent Bugliosi for some ideas!
