salon.com — Most revealingly of all, the Kucinich impeachment hearing today is like a parade of those whom the Beltway class mocks as Shrill, Unserious losers and Leftist radicals. On the other hand, our establishment leaders insist that courtrooms and prosecutions are only for the common people and not for the political elite who are above the law.

that's right, the highly respected conservative constitutional law scholar Bruce Fein strongly supports impeachment and has for years, along with other self-proclaimed conservatives and libertarians. When you consider all the well known "liberals" and moderates who support impeachment as well, you see that there is actually strong support for impeachment from all parts of the political spectrum, and that the people supporting impeachment are doing so because the President clearly and unquestionably broke numerous laws and repeatedly abused his power, not because they are partisan hacks, unlike those who are opposing impeachment

We really can't blame this on the democrats. The democrats have been complicit in the abuses of this administration and stand to lose just as much as the republicans in consequence, especially in the long run. This has nothing to do with the two-party illusion...it's way beyond that now.President George W. Bush has serially violated his oath of office through relentless attacks on the United States Constitution and the rights and dignity of the American people. His protracted failure to enforce our immigration laws long ago belied his supposed concern for our national security. His handling of the 9/11 investigation was seemingly calculated to hide the truth rather than reveal it, fueling speculation that parties within his administration may have possessed advance knowledge on which they failed to act. His dishonest justification of the War in Iraq, involving outright lies about weapons of mass destruction that were never known to exist, cannot be condoned; neither can his crippling of the American economy through astronomical military expenditures related to that war. His contempt for the Geneva Convention, in particular its prohibitions against the torture of prisoners, has utterly disgraced us in the eyes of the world. Some of those above seem to delude themselves that just because Bush has only another six months in office, it is "too late" to do anything about him. This, of course, is asinine. Letting stand the criminal attacks of the Bush-Cheney administration on the US Constitution would only sanction their anti-Constitutional agenda and and set it up for acceleration. It would also encourage other corrupt politicians to engage in high-level self-dealing; never has any clutch of slimeballs more clearly and ruthlessly used the power of the Oval Office to enrich themselves at the expense of the American people, and we desperately need to make examples of them. When it comes to dealing with criminals in high office, better late than never.Let's face it, folks: Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld (who is now "back" in the private sector) are the all-time masters when it comes to using the power of the US government, and the wealth of American taxpayers, to enrich themselves at public expense. Three worse crooks never darkened the door of the Capitol. All three are greedy and powerhungry to the point of idiocy; all three are without conscience; all three are a s**t-stain on the American flag. All three have openly placed the welfare of a hostile, religiously fanatical foreign state, Israel, ahead of the US, and all three represent a world oligarchy which is even now in the process of squeezing us to death. What kind of moron could possibly think that the explosion in oil and food prices that they facilitated, and the insane police-state measures they have initiated, were just a big accident, a random confluence? (If that's actually what you think, then you'd better slap yourself in the face before you walk into a wall.) Although I deeply regret the need to question the motives and actions of our highest government official - a man for whom many of us once had all due respect, and for whom we may even have voted - I fear that only his impeachment can stop a number of dangerous precedents from carrying forward to future administrations with disastrous effects. Hence, I fully support Mr. Kucinich in his valiant efforts to protect our freedom, our sovereignty, our Constitution, and the rule of law. Hats off to you, Dennis.

No, they didn't. Why don't you actually read up a little on the actual laws in question instead of being spoon fed by your huffintonpost masters... If it's so obviously illegal why hasn't Waxman pressed charges? Why hasn't the DEMOCRATIC CONTROLLED LEGISLATURE repealed the Patriot Act?Where have YOU been?
