Impeach

'Off the Table'

A. Alexander, June 25th, 2007

Let's see here ... hmmm ... impeachment? No, not impeachment - not here. It's 'off the table'. Yes, of course, forgot about that. Forgot about the fact that impeachment is 'off the table'. Wonder what it would take to get impeachment "on" the table?

Gosh, what if, say, the President unconstitutionally and unilaterally decided to make a bunch of notes claiming himself to be exempted from laws passed by Congress and then, for hoots-n-giggles, perhaps, actually refused to adhere to a third of said laws; would impeachment be 'on the table' then?

Still no impeachment upon the table, huh? Wonder what it takes then, to get impeachment on the table. Is fellatio the ONLY thing that rises to high crimes and misdemeanors?

Okay, what if the Attorney General of the United States, the nation's lead defender of "the law," went before Congress and perjured himself in like, say, eh-hem, 'bout half a dozen instances. Would impeachment be 'on the table' then?

No, still no impeachment upon the table, huh? Wonder what it takes then, to get impeachment on the table. Is a stained blue dress the ONLY thing that rises to the level of high crimes and misdemeanors?

Hmmm ... well, what if the Vice-President single-handedly exempted himself from, um, say, like the Executive Branch and therefore, ah...er...from the Constitution. Would impeachment be on the table then?

No, nope, nuh-ah, impeachment is not to be placed upon the table.

So, here is the question to be pondered: If the Democrats won't do anything to end the endless war in Iraq; if Democrats won't do ANYTHING to defend the Constitution and democracy from a group of criminals; and if the Democrats will do nothing to stop the administration's mad march toward tyranny, what possible reason is there for the people to continue supporting the Democrats?

Let's see here...hmmm...impeachment? When Democrats put impeachment 'on the table' and begin holding hearings for the impeachment of one or all of the felons listed above, "We the People" will put voting Democratic 'on the table' again. Until then, voting Democratic is 'off the table.'
