35 Articles of Impeachment Introduced Against Bush 1657

Posted by kdawson on Tuesday June 10, 2008 @07:52PM from the high-crimes-and-misdemeanors dept.

vsync64 writes "Last night, Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) spent 4 hours reading into the Congressional Record 35 articles of impeachment against George W. Bush. Interestingly, those articles (63-page PDF via Coral CDN) include not just complaints about signing statements and the war in Iraq, but also charges that the President "Sp[ied] on American Citizens, Without a Court-Ordered Warrant, in Violation of the Law and the Fourth Amendment,' 'Direct[ed] Telecommunications Companies to Create an Illegal and Unconstitutional Database of the Private Telephone Numbers and Emails of American Citizens,' and 'Tamper[ed] with Free and Fair Elections.' These are issues near and dear to the hearts of many here, so it's worth discussing. What little mainstream media coverage there is tends to be brief (USA Today, CBS News, UPI, AP, Reuters)." The (Democratic) House leadership has said that the idea of impeachment is "off the table." The Judiciary Committee has not acted on articles of impeachment against Vice President Cheney introduced by Kucinich a year ago.

I don't understand why this is silly. If "GWB's assault on the Constitution" doesn't merit impeachment, what does?

Is that I finally have a good reason to use the phrase "Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D'OH!)" in casual conversation.

He might as well have been reading a story about eating shit in a public library or having butt sex with his wife.
You mean that wasn't mentioned among the things the President did?

How to get attention:

1: Marry hot wife.
2: Run for Presisent
3: Look for UFO's
4: Constantly throw in use legislation that no one is interested in.

Really, there are more intersting things to be politcal about....

Actually, it's works kind of like Sauron and the Orcs. Once Bush is out of office, the soldiers will just kind of stop fighting and meander back home, dazed.

unless you are going to try to convince us that he had intercourse with Lewinsky, then you must admit that he did not commit perjury
there's a good "if the glove doesn't fit, you must acquit" joke there somewhere.

it's completely unfair to compare bush to a mass murderer.
no petty mass murderer has ever been responsible for the deaths of so many innocent people.

Don't forget to impeach Cheney at the same time. If the president is removed from office then the VP would take over.
Remember: no bush, no dick.
