Entry: Taking Back the Constitution--A Case for Impeaching George W. Bush Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/taking_back_the_constitution_a_case_for_impeaching_george_w_bush#21182 Post contents: "Lying to the American people may not be a criminal offense, but it is a breach of trust by the president. It is a 'high crime or misdemeanor.' As Hamilton suggested, the president could be impeached for acts that make him 'unworthy of being any longer trusted,' even if immune from 'legal punishment.'" The above quote is from Ann Coulter's High Crimes and Misdemeanors: The case against Bill Clinton. Impeachment doesn't require that the president actually break the law, but that -- through lies, corruption or depraved actions -- loses the trust of the American people. Without question, this applies to President Bush who urged Americans to support a war in Iraq to rid the regime of dangerous weapons that threatened this country. If Dr. Stiglitz is accurate, then this a three trillion dollar lie. While we can cite other cases that warrant impeachment -- wiretapping, torture, etc. -- it is clear the president no longer holds the public trust and he must go. Sent at: 2008 05 17
