Do you neoconscum? When you do, no image is reflected, right? Because you''re the evil undead, trying to steal our precious freedom from us in the name of fear. It''s you vermin who have made our beloved Red White and Blue into a worldwide symbol of torture! We''re not going to let you do it, scumbag!

[oleander8]

Well...he is the "Decider".

[magoo2u1]

A literal interpretation of the law would be right wing , not left. Lefties would would argue against the constitution. Bush is operating outside the law. Very liberal.

[skyk-2009]

only few selected hard core ''''in dire need of attention'''' are still trying to stoke the idoicy amongst the looney left winged nuts..

LOL You don''t get out of your room much do you??? LOL

[skyk-2009]

Everyone is pointing the finger at Bush for this mess.

Bush can''''t tell time without someones help - this is all Cheney''''s doing.

Cheney is the person responsible for circumventing the Constitution not Bush.

Hang Cheney for Treason - 2009 - that should be the New Democratic Slogan!

HANG CHENEY FOR TREASON - 2009!!

Yes but even someone who can''t tell time KNOWS when they are doing wrong. Bush may NOT be the guiding hand here but he is the front man and by law is just as guilty.

If he does then there will be blood in the streets and lots of it. I will be more then proud to be one of the first to fight for my country, but the truth is it''''ll be up to the military to decide if they''''re going to continue to obey him. Personally I don''''t think they will and that the revolution would start at the Pentagon.

I agree. Coming from a proud military family I know the reverence these Americans hold for the Constitution and the preservation of our liberty. It would be a sad day that we have to look to the military to protect us against a wannabe dictator like Bush, but I have no doubt the vast majority would protect the Constitution and refuse to follow unlawful and un-Constitutional orders.

[harp1963]

Why don''t we use this technology against Bush and Cheney. Wiretap them. They are the ones who have led us into the current mess this country is in. These two and their cronies are a bigger threat to America than Iran will ever think about being.

[libsluvsuvs]

you guys can whine you guys can proclaim you guys can pretty much say anything you want..NOT UNLESS YOU HAVE SUBSTANCE TO YOUR ALLEGATIONS..THERE WOULD BE NO IMPRISONMENT THERE WOULD BE NO IMPEACHMENTS..the DNC and the part of liberal Hollywood KNOWS THAT..that is why that are not harping the "impeachment" chant anymore..

only few selected hard core ''in dire need of attention'' are still trying to stoke the idoicy amongst the looney left winged nuts..

[gracchus1]

knyghtwolf,

brianbwb has your solution. Try Bush and Cheney for treason and put them where they belong: in prison. We are way beyond impeachment.

[logicanada]

ain''t taken.... re funny how neocons...
I agree.
Have a look at you tube, Greg Palast: Heir to Bolivar.
Very interesting commentary

[jetranger7]

Well you''ve got some Complete Morons on here, that think the Sun rises and sets in BUSHS AZZ, it all they''ve got to cling too, is that *** lying Corrupt SOB, whos in contempt of his Executive branch of powers to begin with, they think that just so neat, till one day they wake up and find storm troopers at their door, wanting to search their house and take their guns, and the banks who backed the little weasel decide to take everybodys houses including the republican dipsticks, who really think their doing a great thing supporting this Neo-Con disaster !!! just a matter of time, for them then it won''t be so funny !! listen to them cry then about how they were betrayed by their own !!!!!

No, it wouldn''t be a waste. Neither would trial for treason, crimes against humanity, and war crimes.

Whatever the cost, the precedent must be established that a president must be held personally accountable for crimes committed while in office, that result in the deaths and destruction of innocents, of violarions of the laws of the US.

If not, your ethnic or religious or economic group may be the next victims of this, or the next mad person who achieves the office

[stevex47]

Again, the mess we are in is in large part because of the judicial branch caving to the executive branch of our government.

Ya, we should be peeved at Congress. We should be infuriated with the Courts.

Impeach Bush.

[knyghtwolf]

So I am wondering IF Impeachment proceedings now would be a waste of time & taxpayers money? Is there no legal recourses available to just jerk him and his staff out of office? Anyone have any ideas or knowledge of this?

[walt1944-2009]

It is the wisdom of the evil, cowardly, spineless Democrats in Congress that impeachment of anyone is "off the table". The only Congressman I know of with guts enough to put impeachment of VP Darth Vader Cheney, and ultimately the Great Emperor Bush II himself, is Dennis Kucinich, a man that no one will listen to on Capital Hill and the press (like CBS News) tends to ignore!

It has been proved time and again that the Great Emperor Bush II and his court have committed impeachable offenses bordering on treason against the Constitution, that "********* piece of paper" they all swore to PROTECT! No one, though, has the real courage to bring them all to some kind of justice because, so the theory goes, it would tear the country apart and distract Congress from doing its job!!!

So does that mean Congress doesn''t have to protect the Constitution and its all left up to the White House???

GOD HELP US ALL!!!

SIG HEIL, BUSH!!!

How about a name of the legal giants who proclaim that the Tiny Texass Tyrant is not bound by the Constitution?

They should be disbarred.

Is John Yoo in there? Does UC Berkeley still employ this clown. F8ck Yoo!

[sgtrds]

And there is absolutely nothing anyone can do to him. There is not, nor will there ever be, a court of law with jurisdiction. And if he has the brains (which collectively he obviously has) he will declare Martial Law the minute there is the smallest hint of impeachment or criminal investigation. It might also be tempting to declare specific members of Congress "security risks" and treat them as such. AND THERE WILL BE NOTHING ANYONE CAN DO ABOUT IT !!!!

[lloydbest1]

One poster asked, perhaps reasonably, where''s the evidence? Name the names of the three "high ranking republicans" who bore witness to Bush''s anti constitutional tirade.

I looked and couldn''t find any names or confirming evidence, either. And guess what, I don''t care!

His Georgeness'' actions (or in some cases lack of) speak a lot louder than his words....
1. His failure to court martial high ranking officers who instigated the Abu Gharib outrage. All that came out of that whole mess was a demotion or two and the prosecution of a few noncoms.
2. Ordering the secret wire tapping of Americans and others with out court order. Even worse, his getting pYssed off and defensive and insisting they continue when found out.
3. Extraordinary renditions and offshore secret prisons where unknown numbers of people, some of whom are Americans, have no legal access or recourse.
4. Coverups of Pat Tillman''s possible murder, Jessica Lynch and Guantanamo activities that may include torture.
I don''t have enough room to go on. My point is even if Bush never said a word about the Constitution and the "..godd@mn piece of paper..." claim is so much hooey, his behavior during his term of office continually shows a pronounced ambivalence if not hostility toward it.
