Amazing that Americans Have This Discussion
Having studied American civics in grade school and high school, and having my doubts that Bush Cheney or anyone else in our current White House similarly learned about American history, traditions, institutions and law, it continually amazes me that this Bush Cheney Presidency has run riot so egregiously. Congress? Lay down. The Courts? Lay ...

Crimes and Misdemeanors
Thanks, gang, for the shine but shouldn't that be HIGH crimes and misdemeanors? We wouldn't want the public to think the Bush Gang's boo boos were equivalent to Parking Tickets. I tried a search for Vincent Bugliosi's new book, The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder and came up with zip. You know it's number nine on NYT Best Seller List? ...

Warfare by midlevel legal memos
The cure for justifying torture in this war is to start prosecuting all the perpetrators--all the way from the GIs through the lieutenants, captains, majors, colonels, generals to the secretaries, cabinet members, chiefs of staff, vice and president--as war criminals. They are all guilty, and this should be remembered forever as their shame and ...

Democrats in Congress Failed Us All 8 Years
The Democrats and Democratic Party failed to stand up for what is right for the entire eight years of the Bush / Cheney White House misrule. They gave away our American two-party system; they gave away majority rule; they gave away our civil rights and bill of rights and civil liberties; they gave away the constitutional authority of the ...

dungeons and dragons
Washington, we have a problem. These latest revelations are just more malfeasance from the highest levels of government. Americans, federal prosecutors, and perhaps even the House Committee on Intelligence hold a grim view of perjury, obstruction of justice, and conspiracy to commit obstruction of justice. There has to be a modicum of trust ...

Why I'm an American in Exile...
On June 13th, 2007, I received a death threat from someone claiming to be a member of the US Intelligence community. What was my ''crime''? I blew the whistle on the election fraud of 2004. Why did the CIA feel threatened by this? Because I revealed how they smuggled cocaine into the US using a front company called ''Skyway Communications''. ...

Bush Learned His Daddy's Lesson
Let's all take a step back in time for a minute, back to 1988. George H.W. Bush, Vice President to Saint Ronnie the Actor, is running for President in his own right. Who does he select for his running mate? Some sturdy Republican warhorse, a senior Republican Senator, perhaps, who is skilled in the cut and thrust of parliamentary debate and knows ...

Separate Presidential/Vice-Presidential Elections?
http://inevitabilitykoolaid.blogspot.com/ In the article ''Impeach Cheney'', Bruce Fein made passing mention of the 12th amendment of the Constitution: ''The 12th Amendment provides for their separate elections.'' I was astounded to hear this, since I have never been given the opportunity to choose a Vice-Presidential candidate separately on ...
