Nearly two weeks ago, I took a deep breath and wrote out my thoughts on impeaching President Bush and Vice President Cheney. Some readers agreed, though equally many--particularly some who read my essay here at Ezra's--were opposed to initiating impeachment proceedings for a number of reasons, some more logical than others.
Nonetheless,I am more convinced than ever that Congress must begin impeachmentproceedings immediately. I'll discuss the rationale for this a bitlater, but let me first put this out there:
We must impeach the President and Vice President of the United States, andwe must begin proceedings to do so immediately, not just for thepurpose of exacting a punitive remedy, but also toward enacting avitally important preventive measure--one that may be the onlyavailable means by which to protect the country from the impendingimposition of martial law at home as well as the declaration of waragainst Iran and possibly other countries in the Middle East.
