"Impeachment is off the table."
“I don’t support impeachment, and I don’t support impeachment hearings, even though I think the president has probably committed an impeachable offense.”
"And Bush? He's going down as the nation's Worst President Ever. We don't need 'impeachment' to make that case, Bush has done a great job of it all by himself."
So, here's a serious (if hypothetical) question: What would the President have to do for you to support a Democratic campaign to impeach him?
That's what I want to ask everyone who opposes impeachment, especially our elected representatives. Because they can't answer that. For almost any line you can draw, Bush has already crossed it.
How about if Bush records your phone calls without a warrant? Oops, already did that.
How about if Bush holds an American citizen without charges? How about if he's tortured with Bush's approval? Been there too.
What if Bush orders someone summarily executed in the Middle East? Done. What if that someone is an American citizen? Yesterday's news. In Europe? On American soil?
What if instead of Jose Padilla imprisoned without charges it's Micahel Moore? Or Al Gore?
What if Bush tries to declare martial law?
No bounds here: if you think members of the Democratic Party should not lead a campaign to impeach George W. Bush today, what would it take for you to change your mind?
