    ...A trial in the Senate to determine whether or not to remove Bush from office, even if it fails to win the necessary votes, would be good for the Constitution and hence the nation. It would cleanse the democracy, put the political parties in a more healthy competition over ideas and direction, and rein in a Chief Executive who is destructive and incompetent and has done great damage to our republic. People all over the world will rejoice in seeing Bush impeached, and they might begin to see the American people in a better light if we show them that we have the will to punish our little Bonaparte for the disasters he has wrought.

(It is, after all, their oath of office.) If we allow Bush to succeed in permanently altering the balance of powers between the branches, the Constitution will become a dead letter. We must avert this national tragedy regardless of the political exigencies. We, the People, must impeach President George Walker Bush.   The Rest, Here
