Never-ending Nightmare

This is purely and simply terrifying.

I grow increasingly sceptical about the transformative powers of a 2008 election - if we even get to have one. These are not the actions of people who plan to leave office or give up power.

If you have a blog, please get out the word. People need to know about this.

Thanks for the heads up on this. I'll post on it too. It's pretty unbelievable what Americans have been conditioned into accepting from our executive branch....

BTW, I've named you for the Rockin' Girl Blogger Award.

Done it. Impeach the bastards now, while you still have the right to do so. But start with the VP, please: "President Cheney" is a thought to horrible to contemplate.

VH - Thanks! :)

udge - I'd prefer a simultaneous impeachment, myself... leaving, say, the power of presidential pardon, or the ability to call for war, in either man's hands is a recipe for disaster.

Oh, they both have to go, that's clear. But ye Gods! make sure that Cheney is gone first.

I think one would have to pursue a simultaneous impeachment; otherwise one would pardon the other, should the impeachment go through.

As it is, Congress's power is eroding quite fast; there's the military resisting Congressional inquiry and oversight, there's the Bush appointees in charge of things like deciding whether contempt charges are viable, there's the Bush majority Supreme Court... the ability of our representatives to put the brake on things is steadily weakening, and they're moving too slow to reverse it at this point.

I'm quite worried.
