CONFUSED about why everyone's biting their nails re: Bush canning eight U.S. attorneys? Put baldly, it's this: Bush has sliced off another giant step toward crushing the presidency and plopping a dictatorship in its place. Bush breaks the law in ways that wound this country badly, and then axes the part of the government that could jail him for it -- like our now-defunct eight U.S. attorneys. After weeks of administration lies about the "Pearl Harbor Day Massacre" of eight U.S. Attorneys, the Senate and House Judiciary Committees are preparing to subpoena Alberto Gonzales, Harriet Miers, and Karl Rove.From democrats.com
But George Bush went on TV to declare he will "oppose any attempts to subpoena White House officials." Why? Obviously because Bush, Gonzales, Miers, and Rove conspired to fire U.S. attorneys who were prosecuting Republican corruption.
That's obstruction of justice - grounds not only for impeachment but also prosecution.
Bush promised to fight any subpoenas in the courts if he has to. Of course we know the Republican-controlled Supreme Court will take Bush's side, just as it did in 2000 when it threw out 175,000 never-counted Florida votes to steal the Presidency for him.
Ultimately Congress has just one tool to force Bush and Cheney to respect the Constitution: Impeachment and Removal.

Unfortunately, I noticed last night that a certain TV newscaster (i.e., one Lou Dobbs) was poking fun of Congress for spending time on this "inconsequential" issue. Lou, sweetheart, who's buttering your bread these days. Hmmmm?

My politics, EXACTLY!! Impeachment is too gentle, tho. What about a long life for Georgie, without parole. The only challenge: picking which high crime to try him for first.
ReplyDeleteHow 'bout forming a Goddess party?! We could pledge allegiance to Alice Walker and affirm that men do not have penises--they have enlarged clitorises. I LOVE Alice Walker.
It's all testosterone poisoning, loves. All of it. At one peace rally last week, the best sign I saw, framing a pix of Fuggin'(he wishes)George: "Little Penis...Big War".
And the Hillaries of the world have succumbed to the Stockholm Syndrome. When you hear Hillary rant about keeping troops in Iraq for 50 years, you know she's identifying with her oppressors---trying to out-George, George.
I could be serious about a Goddess Party. Your blog tonight captured that sacred energy for me. Let's hear it from Her devotees. Do we keep on drowning in testosterone, or do we claim another future for us and our divine Mother?

I've considered the idea of a Goddess party. It would take a lot of strength to withstand the ridicule it would draw, but it is most certainly a step in the right direction. I'm with you!
