I’ve been thinking about, planning and drafting my posts for this 2nd semi annual Blog Against Theocracy. The problem for me is, that everything I wish to write about is covered eloquently and succinctly elsewhere, and that the topics which are of high importance directly to me and my life, I pretty much covered in the 1st BAT. Additionally, it seems that the 108 degree heat here in our High Desert of So. Cali has frightened my muse away for the nonce.
So what’s a dyke to do? If I had to shout to the rooftops, in one breath, the single best thing we as a nation could do to combat the creeping theocracy under which we are governed it would be this:
Impeach! Impeach! Impeach! Impeach Bush and Cheney and restore our government to the will of the people!!!!
So these few snippets are in support of that goal. This clip is my BAT ll post #-1
Once again, the amazing W shows his contempt not only for Congress, but for the American people
No one was all that surprised when the Bush administration announced Thursday that it would not cooperate with congressional demands for documents and testimony
The best way to enforce the rule of law is by issuing a Contempt of Congress citation
The issuance of a Contempt of Congress citation would provoke the sort of Constitutional showdown that it now appears will be required if this administration is to be held to account for its abuses of power. In such a showdown between the legislative and executive branches, the third branch of the federal government, the judiciary, would be asked to decide whether the White House has a right to assert, as White House counsel Fred Fielding did in a letter telling the committee chairs that their demands would not be met.
“Increasingly,” says Leahy, “the president and vice president feel they are above the law — in America no one is above law.”
