Reply #59: Impeachment Is A Political, Not Legal Act... [View All]

[KharmaTrain]

By spending all the effort in going after boooosh and chenney with an Impeachment that will polarize the country, it ignores a lot of the criminality that has gone on. By focusing on just one area like Iraq, you prevent investigating things like Katrina or the oil scams or the illegal wiretapping and all the underlings who enabled and abeted in these crimes. Running a Judiciary investigation surely would conflict with any others and cut the legs off of the work Waxman is talking about doing...which is getting at the true sources of corruption, not just the figureheads.

While Impeachment may feel good, it steals the oxygen from the real goal most who favor this act really desire...justice. Impeachment just sends boooshie boy back to Texas and little more. I'm one who strongly favors letting Congressman Waxman take the lead on the investigation of corruption and exposing it bit by piece so that in '08 the electorate starts to get a clearer picture of what electing not just a Repugnican President by also a Repugnican congress means.
