38 US Reps for Bush Impeachment Review

(APN) ATLANTA – US Rep. Steve Rothman (D-NJ) became the 38th Member of the US Congress officially listed as a supporter of H. Res. 635, a bill which could lead to recommendations to impeach President Bush.

...

US Rep. Rothman recently pledged his support at a constituent panel on leaving Iraq, “If Not Now, When?”

"The only body that has the power to impeach the president is the House of Representatives. The effort, if I may be so bold, is to take back the House," US Rep. Rothman said, according to The Bergen Record Newspaper of New Jersey.

“Rothman, building on one audience member's suggested metaphor, likened the war, and its aim of finding weapons of mass destruction that were never recovered, to an unresolved car theft,” The Bergen Record said.

1. THIS is why we need to sweep into power in both Houses of Congress!
It's about the only way I can see that we can stop this threat to our nation.

4. Agreed. Priority 1 is the House.
The Senate is looking much tougher, unfortunately. It looks like we will have to deal with at best a razor-thin majority there.

7. Refusing to uphold the constitutiton is too
And chimpy had trod upon liberties and constitutional laws time and again. He's broken treaties and has attempted to make himself immune from prosecution for his actions. THe emporer is exposing himself, someone get a towel and tell thqt damned fool the clothes aren't invisable, he's juwst a dumbush.

3. This is great stuff
now the representative can campaign on their stand to impeach the president if a majority is achieved. This could see more dramatic results than the rethugs campaigning on staying the course and endless war.

Now many thugs are calling themselves Reagan Republicans as they try to distance themselves from Bush. This could make it unsafe to be any kind of republican. The last honest ones were the Nixon Republicans. <snicker>
