Maybe it's just me, but as one who has a strong affinity for the Constitution, I believe it would be our obligation to prosecute officials who failed to follow the rule of law. I could care less if they are Republican, Democrat, or otherwise. The Constitution has no party lines.

There are plenty of constitutional experts, some highly respected and who held court in the Reagan administration, whom have expressed that there is reason to believe the Bush administration has violated the Constitution and/or rule of law. I happen to agree. Just as is true with your local police force, the only way for anyone to know if there were violations is for investigations to take place into the alleged crimes.

The fact is that this is a non-partisan issue. If you believe in the rule of law and the principles of limited government, you can't excuse and apologize for your side of the aisle just because you agree with the ideology. It sets a dangerous precident for the long term strength of our republic. We should demand accountability regardless of party.

So, that means you're also ready to go after the Clintons, Barney Frank, Edward Kennedy, Obama, Tom Harkin, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, John Murtha, etc. etc. etc. etc.

Looks like a slow night at DU and Daily Kaos!!

So you are all for impeaching President Bush, Vice-President Cheney, et al for violating the Constitution, then—heading off to the Hague to have them all tried for war crimes against humanity PLUS murder for those millions of deaths they allegedly caused, then when they are found guilty (because the trials would be mere kangaroo ones anyway) to have them hung publicly on television so the world can see justice done??

LOL. Maybe I should fake a DU membership and go over there and praise everything President Bush, Vice-President Cheney et al have done—then sit back and watch DUmmie heads explode!

Man! If I could find a cure for rampant, raging BDS I’d be a trillionaire, LOL!!!!! :-)
