At this point I am no longer concerned with what his supporters think. Bush's supporters are case studies in denial. The future of our Constitution and balance of powers is in question, and so it the Republic.

Homeni: Does it trouble you that Bush was appointed to the presidency by the USSC?

Sweetpea: YOU are the one who does not get it.
It would be a waste of time to discuss this with you , and most of Bush's enablers hold a similar views.
Again, I am no longer interested rational debate with them. As someone pointed out, this is a partisan political matter.

kvery: The 2000 election was STOLEN. And you are going to cite the NYT as a reliable / creditable source? This is going to come back to haunt the GOP for a very long time to come - only you are not perceptive enough to see this.

Because sadly, it's not about the law.
Under the current political climate, decisions are made based primarily on partisan politics -- the law and the constitution have very little impact anymore.
So, regardless of how much evidence there is that Bush violated the law, regardless of his own admissions, and regardless of Supreme Court findings that he has violated the law -- the law is not the issue.
The Senate will not vote 2/3 to convict, no matter how much evidence is presented. Becuase they are voting based on politics, and not based on the law.
We've effectively had a non-military coup in the US, and there is pretty much nothing we can do about it but hope it goes away.

Valerie Plame risked her life to stop terrorists from getting WMD's and murdering innocent Americans. But when her husband Joe Wilson dared to tell the truth about Bush's pre-war lies, Karl Rove declared her "fair game" and conspired with Dick Cheney and Scooter Libby to expose her identity, destroy her career, and endanger the lives of everyone she worked with to protect us.
Valerie Plame sued Cheney, Libby, and Rove. But of course the case went before a "loyal Bushie" judge named John D. Bates, who made his "bones" with the Bushies as a Whitewater prosecutor under Ken Starr. Bush appointed Bates as a Federal judge in 2001, and a year later he dismissed the GAO lawsuit demanding Cheney's Energy Task Force documents. In 2006, Chief Justice John Roberts put Bates on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to turn a blind eye to Bush's illegal wiretapping of millions of Americans.
Today Bates dismissed Plame's lawsuit by claiming the conspiracy against Wilson was "unsavory" but "within the scope of [their] duties."

What Cheney, Libby, and Rove did wasn't unsavory - by shutting down a crucial anti-terrorist network, endangering the lives of everyone involved, and undermining the security of the United States, they committed treason.
Valerie Plame will never get justice - and our nation will never be safe - by relying on the Bush-controlled Federal courts. It is way past time for Congress to Impeach Dick Cheney.
On July 23, 2002, the head of British intelligence reported that Bush and Cheney were intent on invading Iraq and planned to "fix the intelligence and facts around the policy". Five years later a million people have died in Iraq as a direct result of these lies with no end in sight. Torture has been institutionalized, habeas corpus eviscerated, and illegal spying made routine. New Orleans lies devastated along with the Constitution and the rule of law. And Bush and Cheney are making a mockery of the Democrats' feeble gestures towards accountability.
Enough is enough, and this July 23rd we will launch a new phase in the movement for peace and justice. We call it the Orange Revolution because starting that day wearing orange will signify that you want Congress to START IMPEACHMENT and STOP THE WAR. The majority of Americans, who want to see Bush and Cheney impeached and want an immediate end to this war, are made effectively invisible by a complicit media. Wearing orange will be our signal to each other, and to the world, about where we stand. Anything orange will do: a t-shirt, a wristband, your shoelaces. Get creative and send us your ideas. Here are a some great items you can wear designed specifically for the Orange Revolution:

It's tough to point out where the law has been broken with an Attorney General like Gonzales... a law breaker.

Maybe one of these years you will actually make a slight effort to find out what the law is. Obviously you are ignoring that slight problem with your tirade.
Read the constitution and specify how he broke the law. Bet you never read the constitution.

You do know that Bush did win in FL the New York Times even admited to it with all the recounts.
Just because you don't like Bush is not grounds for impeachment.

You cannot impeach a President b/c you don't like him. He has not broken any laws.
Please consider the impact that impeachment would have on our already fractured government. Not good at all.
The Republic is fine. You are a misinformed alarmist.

Citizens can't "fire" the president. In some states where you have recall, citizens can initiate a recall petition (witness what happened in CA that resulted in the Terminator getting elected guv) but we don't have recall for the office of president.
The only time you can fire the president is when it's re-election time. Obviously, for reasons I can't fathom, the majority of voters in this country "hired" Bush for a second term.
(Of course, we're not talking about the first election where Bush didn't get the majority of votes. Then again, he did win 5-4 in the Supreme Court, eh?)

Unfortunately nothing happens quickly in this government.
Fortunately Dubya's support has continued to fall.
It's pretty much down to a few trolls on Yahoo now.
Oh look - here they are now!!
