Rep. Wexler Wants to Impeach Cheney's Dark Sith Ass.

Well, I think that headline pretty much explains how I feel about the impeachment possibility. ^_^

I'll let the email a documentary filmmaker friend of mine sent me this morning explain the rest:
Wexler Launches Online Push for Cheney Impeachment Hearings

http://www.WexlerWantsHearings.com

Following the release of an online op-ed advocating for Cheney impeachment hearings by Representatives Robert Wexler (D-FL), Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) and Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), all Members of the House Judiciary Committee, Wexler has launched an ambitious online effort to mobilize support for immediate impeachment hearings for Vice President Dick Cheney.

Wexler, a senior member of the House Judiciary Committee, has launched http://www.WexlerWantsHearings.com to mobilize grass roots and netroots support from across the nation in order to increase pressure on Congress to hold hearings. In a new video, featured at www.WexlerWantsHearings.com, Wexler issues a strongly worded statement in favor of hearings.

"Our Constitution mandates that the House of Representatives hold Presidents and Vice-Presidents accountable when they commit High Crimes... Accountability and the rule of law are not partisan; they are American. They supersede politics and strategy. We must hold all
of our leaders accountable. No exceptions," Wexler states on the video.

A copy of the online op-ed by Wexler, Gutierrez, and Baldwin, entitled "A Case for Hearings", is available at http://www.WexlerWantsHearings.com

In the editorial, the three Members of the Judiciary Committee declare that serious charges have been made against Cheney "relating to his deceptive actions leading up to the Iraq War."

The Members of Congress further state that "the worst legacy of the Clinton impeachment - where the GOP pursued trumped up and insignificant allegations - would be that it discourages future Congresses from examining credible and significant allegations of a constitutional nature when they arise."

Wexler is encouraging the online community and netroots to join together to support hearings.


SIGH... I think we could skip the "strongly worded" letters and get right to demanding Cheney and Bush be removed from office.

I swear--why are so many people balls-free these days?

Does our Constitution and the rule of law mean that little to us?
