We should all keep the topic of Impeachment on the table here at DK until the House Judiciary Committee shows some spark of willingness to pursue an investigation against Vice President Richard Cheney as per House Resolution 333--Thank you again Hon. Representative Dennis Kucinich!!
More below the fold.
Part I. The Tale of President Nixon's Impeachment:

Interesting, huh? Thought so too. See any parallels to the current situation? I was surprised to see how very efficiently the federal judicial and political systems at that time worked (in comparison to the puppet committees now overrunning our government just waking up to restore a sense of accountability.)
Part II. The Tale of President Clinton's Impeachment:

Even more interesting. Reading the facts of Clinton's case now in 2007, it seems almost comical in comparison to the charges being leveled at VP Dick Cheney. Go ahead and do a juxtaposition for yourself--that's why it's here. Contrast the actions of the Republican party leaders to the inactions of our Democratic leaders now running the house. And then try to grasp the statements being pawed off as justification for this woeful inaction, namely, that it is part of an over-arching "strategy" on the parts of the Dem Leaders to ease into the White House in 2008.
This is a bullshit lazy, irresponsible, cop-out dreamed up by number-steeped, political tacticians that will never hold a public office and serve the people. IN other words, Dem strategists, unlike any other time in modern history, are destroying any hope for justice that 54% of American people demand our leaders to seek. To the Dem Leaders: Stop getting dictated to by these superfluous hacks and find the integrity within yourselves. A leader stands up for what's right and isin't afraid of the fallback--they don't shy away from today's fight for easy future victories (which I have to point out isin't a guarantee by any stretch of the imagination.)
Part III. The Tale of the Impending Impeachment of Vice President Cheney:
http://kucinich.house.gov/...
Now that's some straight-up, stone-cold, fucked-up shit.
It boggles the mind of the average intelligent and cognizant person that this fiend is still at the helm of the 2nd highest office in the land--and still spewing war-mongering venom with little, if any backlash. Simply put, it's the actions of a very dangerous and ideological madman left unchecked for 6 years. This is what inaction has led to:
