Impeachment in the works?
On November 8 this month, the Hawaii Reporter predicted that
The House Judiciary Committee, Chaired by John Conyers, (D-MI) will vote to send articles of impeachment for both Bush and Cheney to the full House. Conyers has been holding mock impeachment hearings for the last 2 years. At one point he had proposed articles of impeachment posted on his congressional Web site. The Democrat controlled House will vote to impeach both Bush and Cheney, but the Democrat controlled Senate will not convict. The hearings will keep the president and his appointees hamstrung. There will be no “bi-partisanship.” Democrat leaders believe the religious right targeted Clinton for impeachment over lying about sex, they will now return the favor.
Or maybe not. A week later, an e-mail from “Congressman John Conyers” dated Wed, 15 Nov 2006 09:58:56 -0500 revealed, in part, a change of mind, if not of heart (emphasis added):
. . .As many of you also know, I have agreed with Speaker-to-be Pelosi that impeachment is off the table. Instead, we agree that oversight, accountability and checks and balances – which have been sorely lacking for the last six years – must occur. I have nothing but respect for those who might disagree, but that is where I come out. . . .
I think we need to change his mind back again. You will hear more about this in this blogspot, and soon.

So do we let them get away with lying to us and congress or, do we let future leaders know that we will not tolerate this sort of behavior in our president, vice president, or congressional leaders. Should we choose not to investigate, and that is what impeachment is, we will send a message that we will tolerate future leaders doing the same thing. You must consider what they have done.
