Since the Democrats regained control of Congress in 2006 the Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, John Conyers, has chosen to pursue "oversight" of the Executive Branch in lieu of "impeachment", to rein in the "Imperial Presidency of George W. Bush".

John Conyers has meticulously documented the potential and probable high crimes and misdemeanors of Bush and Cheney, click here http://judiciary.house.gov/hearings/printers/111th/IPres090316.pdf but he never pursued the ultimate remedy provided for by our Founding Fathers in our very own Constitution-the remedy of impeachment.

John Conyers feared the votes were not there, even before presenting his case, and that was his excuse for not upholding and defending the Constitution when the nation was in dire peril faced with cruel, evil "domestic" enemies/tyrants.

"Oversight" is not/was not the remedy needed when America was ruled over by the Bush/Cheney cabal of evil exercising their "unitary" (monarchical) executive powers which usurped the Constitution.  

Impeachment was clearly called for and desperately needed against Bush and Cheney, Click Here http://kucinich.us/impeachment/articles.pdf

By NOT impeaching Bush and Cheney, John Conyers has succeeded, to the everlasting detriment of the American people, in making the Bush/Cheney crimes A NEW STANDARD TO REACH for all future Republican presidents, never to be held accountable for their high crimes, misdemeanors, and misdeeds, and never to get impeached, while in office, and even after leaving office, even after usurping the Constitution and violating our laws and violating international laws and treaties as well.

Instead of impeaching, John Conyers can now look forward someday to writing a new Article on Impeachment, possibly entitled "Bush and Cheney Should Have Been Impeached" by John Conyers Jr, Click Here http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/2/4/95218/85782
