Bruse Fein wrote the Articles of Impeachment of Bill Cinton. He’s a conservative Republican. Here’s what he says about Bush…

BRUCE FEIN: I think he(Clinton) was setting a precedent that placed the president above the law. I did not believe that the initial perjury or misstatements– that came perhaps in a moment of embarrassment stemming from the Paula Jones lawsuit was justified impeachment if he apologized. Even his second perjury before the grand jury when Ken Starr’s staff was questioning him, as long as he expressed repentance, would not have set an example of saying every man, if you’re president, is entitled to be a law unto himself. I think Bush’s crimes are a little bit different. I think they’re a little bit more worrisome than Clinton’s. You don’t have to have–

BILL MOYERS: More worrisome?

BRUCE FEIN: More worrisome than Clinton’s– because he is seeking more institutionally to cripple checks and balances and the authority of Congress and the judiciary to superintend his assertions of power. He has claimed the authority to tell Congress they don’t have any right to know what he’s doing with relation to spying on American citizens, using that information in any way that he wants in contradiction to a federal statute called the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. He’s claimed authority to say he can kidnap people, throw them into dungeons abroad, dump them out into Siberia without any political or legal accountability. These are standards that are totally anathema to a democratic society devoted to the rule of law.

It gets worse. Our invertebrate democratic congress isn’t performing its repsonsibility by forming Articles of Impeachment. Hold them to account! Nancy Pelosi says, and I quote “Impeachment is off the table”. She is wrong. The future of the U.S. is truly at stake. This is NOT a dramatization. Let’s get Impeachment back on the table.
