**** Unimpeachable Conservative Calls for Bush/Cheney Impeachment! ****

Bruce Fein, a constitutional lawyer with unimpeachable conservative
credentials was on Bill Moyers Journal saying things that used to be
considered "porn" on Daily Kos.  He is saying things many people still
have to be convinced make sense.  He's calling for the impeachment of
Bush AND Cheney.  Immediately!

Here is the YouTube clip of the first 5 minutes

Fein was there at Watergate.  Fein helped draft the articles of
impeachment for Clinton.  This is stunning. Someone needs to send it
to Nancy, tape her eyelids open and make her watch it.  This is
historic.

HERE'S THE BOTTOM LINE TAKE HOME TALKING POINTS:

Impeachment is not a constitutional crisis. It is the CURE for
constitutional crisis. (Nichols)

Let unchallenged, these powers will be lying around like loaded
weapons for future presidents. (Fein)

These are just some of the highlights I caught as Fein defends "The
Fighting Constitution":   He compares Bush to Nixon, King George III,
and Hitler!  There are several other gems I missed (e.g. Nichols'
points comparing the US and Roman Empires)

==============
Even Nixon said "Ok" when Congress said "No money for Laos and
Cambodia."  This was a man who said "If I do it, it's ok."

When they get to Harriet Miers he says her failure to testify is:

Certainly an article in a bill of impeachment.  This is obstruction of
justice. Even Nixon didn't have the audacity to tell John Dean, "No
you can't testify."

About Sarah Taylor's oath to the President:  I was there at the time
of Watergate.  That was like the oath to the military in Germany.  An
oath to the Fuhrer.

Bush is totally heedless of any honor for law and accountability.  He
has special rules for him and his cabinet.

This is a sneering attitude.  "I am king." Bush is over reaching and
making claims that even George III would not make.

About congress giving up it's powers:  It is not an option... they
have walked away from their responsibilities.  If you abandon that ,
you abandon the ship of state and it capsizes.

There is nothing to stop them from shutting down all of George Bush's
and Dick Cheney's illegal operations.  ILLEGAL OPERATIONS... his
words.

We cannot trust the reins of power to these people they are
unreliable.

Impeachment is not a constitutional crisis.  It is a cure for that.
Don't mistake the cure with the disease.

Nothing would gratify me more than they stand up and say "I was wrong"
and give up the power.  Then we could stop.

One of the lessons we learned from Nixon was he never repented.  We
have to get that.

This is why holding them to account now is important.  If we don't do
it, we are saying we can find out you have done harm to the republic
and there is no penalty for that.  That will hold.  That will be a
precedent.
======================

I wish I could have done a better job relaying this but it was like
trying to read the numbers on train cars as they roll by and this
train is ROARING past.  Besides, I was typing with one hand while I
used my other hand to pick my jaw up off the floor.

Get the video and watch it.  Here's the link to Bill Moyer's Journal
so you can get it when it comes on line.  There is also a comment
section and a blog area for discussion that is heating up right now.

For "balance" there was John Nichols from the Nation.  He barely had
to speak. When he did, he was moderate in comparison.  Bruce Fein
should be Colbert's  ALPHA DOG OF THE MONTH.  For additional
reference, here is a link to an article Fein wrote BEFORE Democrats
took control of Congress called "Restrain This White House."
