Articles of Impeachment Introduced Against Cheney
I'm actually quite surprised that this is being attempted. Not that I don't
think it is justified. I think an impeachment investigation is 100% justified.
Heck just the torture issue is probably enough to justify an investigation into
this administrations doings,
not to mention habeas corpus, the attorney firings, and Iraq. In discussions
with friends on the subject I've said that I thought impeaching President Bush
would be a bad idea for a couple of reasons. The first one was because I
thought Cheney would be worse than Bush as a president and also I never thought
that an impeachment could be investigated in enough time to make any
difference since Bush is out of the office at the end of this term. Honestly I
had never really thought of anyone going after just Cheney. I'm not really sure if it
will make any difference if he is successfully impeached. I'm guessing at the
very least it would prevent him from running for President in the future?
So, yet another interesting story to follow. I learned about this bit of news
in
this
AlterNet article where they have a short video and links to the full text of
the resolution and a synopsis.
