Reply #13: I think it has more to do with the US being at war. [View All]

There is this unspoken rule about that, which I have no doubt is part of the appeal to BushCo in taking the US to war. It has given them the springboard to expand executive power. But there are the old-timers who are probably operating under protocol as we have known it; unfortunately never before in our history has an administration so taken advantage of that very protocol and in the end it is protecting them. I think the moderates would definitely consider impeachment once we are out of Iraq. But that may indeed be a Catch-22. The Republicans weaseled out of Iran Contra ultimately ending in pardons for the criminals. However, if any administration deserved impeachment, it is this one.
