Midwesterner, veteran of VietNam era naval service, I still feel an obligation to defend the Constitution against "all enemies, foreign and domestic."

Some progress in this matter may be possible...

if the Speaker of the House and her leadership colleagues could understand the difference between comity and being an accessory after the fact.

Precisely

The higher-ups in BOTH parties are accessories to the corruption at the top. Pelosi, for instance, has documented ties to the Weapons Industry, and virtually all of Congress has benefitted finacially from Bush's policies. How many members have their seats due to election results that were tampered with? We may never know, but someone does, and thats enough to keep impeachment off the table.

That said, the lock that the neo-cons have on all 3 branches of this government--not to mention the all-important media-- prevent the system from fixing itself.

Impeachment, Part II

Give it up, Mr. Swanson. It's not going to happen. It should, but it won't.
