Is there anything outrageous enough that would cross the line?

[DeeDeeNY]

There must be something that would finally cause Pelosi and the others to immediately put impeachment back on the table.
I would like to know what that could be.

3. I've posted so many threads like yours and every time I have I have

felt like exploding. Short of the people storming the Hill with pitchforks and tar and feathers, I'm despairing of justice ever being served on this administration. I, however, am vowing to vote against any candidate my area who does not support Kuicinich's bill. I don't care which side of the aisle they are on. Incumbents don't deserve their offices if they let the biggest mass of corruption and crime in our nation's history, the subversion of the Constitution, and outright treason go unpunished.

4. No, because impeachment proceedings might hurt Democratic electability

I feel that the current leadership is willing to let the country go to hell as long as it will help them gain more power in 2008.

Once they grab the reins of power, they'll of course need a bit more to get anything done.

Pelosi and Torture
by John Nichols

That House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has been a disappointing leader for House Democrats, few serious observers of the congressional condition will deny. But, now, she appears to be something more troubling: a serious hindrance to the fight against the use of crudest and most objectionable torture techniques.

Democrats and Republicans with a conscience have gotten a good deal of traction in recent months in their battle to identify the use by U.S. interrogators of waterboarding - a technique that simulates drowning in order to cause extreme mental distress to prisoners — as what it is: torture. Arizona Senator John McCain, a GOP presidential contender, has been particularly powerful in his denunciations of this barbarous endeavor. And Senate Intelligence Committee chair Jay Rockefeller, D-West Virginia, and key members of the Senate Judiciary Committee have effectively pressed the issue on a number of fronts.

Now, however, comes the news that Pelosi knew as early as 2002 that the U.S. was using waterboarding and other torture techniques and, far from objecting, appears to have cheered the tactics on.

The Washington Post reports that Pelosi, who was then a senior member of the House Intelligence Committee, was were informed by CIA officials at a secret briefing in September 2002, that waterboarding and other forms of torture were being used on suspected al-Queda operatives. That’s bad. Even worse is the revelation that Pelosi was apparently supportive of the initiative.
