... for so long belongs in this category."

As do I.

comes to mind, as I'm sure it does to yours.

Problem this time is that what we really have in our view finder is that both the Executive and the Majority Party in Congress are probable co-defendants in trials ranging from violations of the Constitution, a range of Federal and international statutes and treaties.

It's not like - "lie about blow-job, get impeached" or "coverup breaking and entering, get impeached."

It's the scale of the abuse that so far transcends anything our Republic has confronted, save the Civil War.

It's the scale of abuse that must render folk whose entire life has been "the law" and "the Constitution" perplexed beyond anything I can imagine -- perplexed as in (purely lay person terms) "how in the frigging hell do we resolve this lawlessness."

In other words, just envision how many current members of the Executive and Legislative (and SCOTUS, and the military, and the MI complex, and ...) may actually have already earned time at one of our US Penitentiaries - high school football stadium full of folk, or more ???

Article 8, and, of course, Article 6 of the http://www.yale.edu/lawweb/avalon/imt/proc/imtconst.htm|Nuermberg Charter> make it clear how broadly the net is cast for those who plan, let alone, execute war of aggression (preemptive war, or any other euphemism, don't change the reality of US aggression on Iraq, beginning with the PNACers' scheming at their AEI salon in the late '90s).

We're looking at a very big football stadium full of defendants, already.

Those seeking sound bites and quick remedies need to take a ten year nap - even that might not be long enough.

Peace, my friend,
Bob
