Articles of Impeachment Against George W. Bush
Michael Ratner, Bill Goodman, Maria Lahud, and Shayana Kadidal


Center for Constitutional Rights attorneys Michael Ratner, Bill Goodman, Maria Lahud, and Shayana Kadidal talk about their book, "Articles of Impeachments," at the Culture Project in New York City. The participants argue that President Bush should be impeached because he is abusing his power. They discuss the NSA domestic spying case, the administration's arguments supporting the invasion of Iraq, and the administration's use of indefinite detention and torture to support their case. The panel is moderated by Democracy Now! host Amy Goodman.

The Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) is a New York based legal organization founded in 1966. Lawyers from CCR represented Guantanamo Bay detainees in the Supreme Court case Rasul v. Bush. The case challenged the Bush administration's power to indefinitely detain foreign nationals in Guantanamo without trial and argued that detainees should be allowed to contest their imprisonment in U.S. courts. The Supreme Court ruled in CCR's favor. For more information on the book or the Center for Constitutional Rights, visit www.ccr-ny.org.
