Why shouldn't the Criminals be driven out of the White House?

Question

Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice, Gonzales must all be driven out, they must leave the White House politically repudiated and thoroughly discredited as the war criminals that they are. Anything short of that is unacceptable to the world, to our children, to the future.

Answer 1

President Bush has quietly claimed the authority to disobey more than 750 laws enacted since he took office, asserting that he has the power to set aside any statute passed by Congress when it conflicts with his interpretation of the Constitution.

Among the laws Bush said he can ignore are military rules and regulations, affirmative-action provisions, requirements that Congress be told about immigration services problems, ''whistle-blower" protections for nuclear regulatory officials, and safeguards against political interference in federally funded research.

Here are a few:

1.) Deception of Congress and the American Public

Committing a Fraud Against the United States (18 U.S.C. § 371)

Making False Statements Against the United States (18 U.S.C. § 1001)

2.) Improper Detention, Torture, and Other Inhumane Treatment

Anti-Torture Statute (18 U.S.C. § 2340-40A)

The War Crimes Act (18 U.S.C. § 2441)

The Geneva Conventions and Hague Convention: International Laws Governing the Treatment of Detainees

United Nations Convention Against Torture, and Cruel, Inhuman and Degrading Treatment: International Laws Governing the Treatment of Detainees

Command Responsibility (for known illegal acts of subordinates in the military)

Detainment of Material Witnesses (18 U.S.C. § 3144)

3.) Retaliating against Witnesses and Other Individuals

Obstruction Congress (18 U.S.C. § 1505)

Whistleblower Protection (5 U.S.C. § 2302)

The Lloyd-LaFollette Act, or "anti-gag rule" (5 U.S.C. § 7211)



Retaliating against Witnesses (18 U.S.C. § 1513)


4.) Leaking and other Misuse of Intelligence and other Government Information

Revealing Classified Information in Contravention of Federal Regulations (Executive Order 12958/Classified Information Nondisclosure Agreement)

Statutory Prohibitions on Leaking Information (18 U.S.C. § 641, etc.)


5.) Laws Governing Electronic Surveillance

Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (50 U.S.C. § 1801, et seq.)

National Security Act of 1947 (50 U.S.C. chapter 15)

Communications Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C. § 222)

Stored Communications Act of 1986 (18 U.S.C. § 2702)

Pen Registers or Trap and Trace Devices (18 U.S.C. § 3121)


6.) Laws and Guidelines Prohibiting Conflicts of Interest (28 U.S.C. § 528, etc.)

Answer 2

"Not me" .. gave a great answer. There is no excuse for the abuse of power that this administration has participated in. But I will say that they have dug themselves in deep and empires don't go peacefully.. I don't want to borrow trouble but I worry about another convenient terrorist event.. thus enabling the Bush Co. to enact the many clauses of the Patriot act that could postpone or even cancel a presidential election.. marshal law is impending in that scenario. Lets all keep our fingers crossed.

Answer 3

We elected him through the electoral college in 2000 and then gave him the common vote and the electoral college vote in 2004. that's termed the election procedure. i won't be able to inform you approaches many motorized vehicle injuries or dashing tickets I extremely have had, yet my boss basically had one very last 3 hundred and sixty 5 days. through your criteria, my boss might want to be in reformatory and our shoppers might want to be screwed. bill Clinton smoked marijuana and he were given to be President. Hillary is accused of securities fraud (farm animals futures).

Or robbery of White abode belongings in 2001 (Air stress One stripped-each and every of the china lengthy gone, presents taken, and so on)?

Answer 4

Clearly you disagree with those of the current administration. Others do agree with them. That makes politics.

However, calling them criminals requires evidence which can be proven in court or a Congressional hearing. Since you haven't offered any such evidence, your statement (thinly disguised as a question) is meaningless.

If it really should be done, why are you on Yahoo whining about it. When are the American people (who care) get off there A** and stand up for there right, and for the Constitution. Yes it should be done, do YOU want to be the leader?

Answer 6

I wouldn't say it's just them, I think 1/2 the government needs to go too. I don't know if they are criminals, but I'm sure they are up to something behind the scenes.

Answer 7

Your opinion, not mine, so what are you gonna do about it? besides talk?
nothing, another psuedo secular democrat making noise, with no solution for the war on terror except to wait for an attack, no proactive solution, just sit back and try (unseccessfully) to isolate yourself from the world and Hope you wont be attacked.

Answer 8

Answer 9

The criminals were driven out when clinton left.

Answer 10
