ACLU Florida Calls For Bush/Cheney Impeachment
Scoop Independent News New Zealand ^ | 5-Jan-08 | David Swanson

Posted on 01/06/2008 2:59:58 PM PST by Jay777

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Florida has followed the lead of the ACLU of Central Florida, the ACLU of Monroe County Florida, and the ACLU of the Treasure Coast (Florida), all of which followed the lead of the ACLU of Southern California in backing impeachment and calling for the National ACLU to do the same.

The ACLU was a prominent supporter of Richard Nixon’s impeachment. In 2006 an ACLU panel argued for impeachment. In recent years, the national ACLU has lobbied against numerous offenses that appear quintessentially impeachable, but refused , despite intense lobbying by its members and others, to back impeachment. The national ACLU recently announced a new motto that many impeachment advocates view as a wish for the impossible (a reference to the current presidential administration): “One More Year, No More Damage.”

Richard W. Spisak Jr. of the ACLU of Florida reported that the state chapter met in Fort Myers at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday and passed a motion in support of impeachment hearings for George Bush and Richard Cheney. The motion calls on the National ACLU to urge hearings in the Judiciary Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives. Florida Congressman Robert Wexler, a member of that committee, has recently been leading a push for hearings to begin. Florida citizens have been pushing for impeachment for a long time.

Who’s next in line after Bush/Cheney? Pelosi? Is she too lazy to run for President? Gawd, I’d love to see Pelosi and Hillary fight!

What a bunch of barking moonbats. There’s nothing new or interesting about this stupid idea. And, BTW, where’s their list of impeachable offenses? In some super secret location known only to a few raving nutters like Wexler? And, best of all, these idiots are not only out of ideas, they’re out of time. This will go exactly nowhere, which is the same place the ACLU belongs.

They have Constitutional grounds. It’s called upsetting a liberal and in the same section as separation of church and state and the right to an abortion.

Well, we must ask Oprah’s Kid how impeachment threats by members of his party jive with his “JFK speeches about bring the country together”?

They don’t need grounds. After all, this is all about rallying the libtards for the next election. The ACLU knows damn well that there won’t be any impeachment.

I think they were a couple decades late...

My mistake. That's definitely a "high crime and misdemeanor".

Can’t we get the ACLU banned as a terrorist organization?

Impeachment for what? What are their grounds for impeachment?

The ACLU has entered moonbat territory. What this has to do with protecting civil liberties I haven't the faintest idea.
