Impeachment Now

Quote of the Day:
I think Bush's crimes are a little bit different. I think they're...more worrisome than Clinton's because he is seeking more institutionally to cripple checks and balances and the authority of Congress and the judiciary to superintend his assertions of power. He has claimed the authority to tell Congress they don't have any right to know what he's doing with relation to spying on American citizens, using that information in any way that he wants in contradiction to a federal statute called the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. He's claimed authority to say he can kidnap people, throw them into dungeons abroad, dump them out into Siberia without any political or legal accountability. These are standards that are totally anathema to a democratic society devoted to the rule of law.
-Bruce Fein, the man who wrote the articles of impeachment against Bill Clinton in 1998, commenting to Bill Moyers on the current president's illegal behavoir.

Speaker Pelosi: Save our nation. Impeach Bush and Cheney now.
