First Step Towards Impeachment? Conyers Introduces Bills to Censure Bush and

Cheney

 

--

We speak with Congressman John Conyers (D - MI) introduced measures to censure

President Bush and Vice President Cheney for misleading lawmakers on the

decision to go to war in Iraq. Conyers is also seeking the creation of a select

committee to investigate the Administration's possible crimes and make

recommendations regarding grounds for impeachment.

--

The " I " word has returned to Washington. Seven years to the week after the House

of Representatives impeached President Clinton, discussion of the possible

impeachment of President Bush has reached a new high.

In recent days, Senator Barbara Boxer, Congressmen John Lewis and John Conyers,

Nixon's former White House Counsel John Dean as well as numerous legal scholars

have suggested Bush has committed impeachable offenses by illegally ordering the

National Security Agency to eavesdrop inside the country without a court

warrant.

 

Even conservative legal scholars have admitted the severity of Bush's actions.

Norm Ornstein, a scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, said " I think if

we're going to be intellectually honest here, this really is the kind of thing

that Alexander Hamilton was referring to when impeachment was discussed. "

 

Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer of California said she had written to several

constitutional scholars to ask whether Bush had committed an impeachable offense

by ordering the warrant-less domestic spying.

 

Boxer's request came after former White House John Dean said Bush had become

" the first President to admit to an impeachable offense. "

 

Earlier this week Democratic Congressman John Conyers introduced measures to

censure President Bush and Vice President Cheney - not for the domestic spying

case but for misleading lawmakers on the decision to go to war in Iraq.

 

Conyers is also seeking the creation of a select committee to investigate the

Administration's possible crimes and make recommendations regarding grounds for

impeachment.

 

To back up his case Conyers has just released a reported titled " The

Constitution in Crisis: The Downing Street Minutes and Deception, Manipulation,

Torture, Retribution and Coverups in the Iraq War. "

 

To support Conyers " efforts activists have also launched a website this week

titled censurebush.org.

 

 

Rep. John Conyers (D - MI), second longest serving member of the House of

Representatives and the ranking Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee. In

the 1970s he played a prominent role in the recent impeachment process of

Richard Nixon.

How about charges for war crimes for all of these bushmen? However, seriously, in the past there have been so many conspiracy theories...remember the guy in the Clinton administration that committed suicide and so many conspiracy theories about him knowing too much and being taken out? Well, I wonder about all of this leading to some retaliation. Maybe I watch too many movies? Nah! Think that the belief that the government is above terrorism of its own is much too naive. The whole government is coming apart...which is fine by me. Please the goddess that the supporters of this war, here and abroad take close note of the fine representatives that we have running our little "colony" as fraggle would put it.
