Impeach Bush and Cheney.
The very state of our democracy depends on it - they have abused the system for their own advantage and that of a very narrow consituency. It's time to hold hearings and determine if such crimes have been committed which justify impeachment, and hold up the example to prevent future executives from gambling that no one will react in time to reel in their power grab.
From Raw Story
In an excerpt from his forthcoming book, Salon columnist Joe Conason says that the changes in political power set in motion by President George W. Bush have brought the United States closer to a future in which authoritarianism is possible. Conason warns that for the first time since Nixon, Americans have "reason to doubt the future of democracy and the rule of law in our own country."
The excerpt comes from Conason's new book It Can Happen Here: Authoritarian Peril in the Age of Bush. Conaston states up front that the idea of an American slide into authoritarianism is not based in any paranoia, but comes because the current president "has repeatedly asserted and exercised authority that he does not possess under the Constitution he swore to uphold."
While there is risk for the Democrats if they appear to be overreacting, or over-reaching in a partisan attack - the real risk is in failing to act.
