\nThe KING COUNTY Democratic Central Committee has passed a resolution supporting impeachment with stronger language, and specifically supports SJM 8016 and HJM 4027.
\n
\nRESOLUTION: IMPEACHMENT OF BUSH & CHENEY
\n
\nWHEREAS, In the coming Washington State Legislative session there has been introduced in both houses a new resolution listing impeachable offenses committed by Bush and Cheney and calling for the U. S. House of Representatives to begin impeachment hearings against Bush and Cheney; and
\n
\nWHEREAS, America has only until January 20th, 2009 to signal to history that America will not sanction torture, America will not sanction unprovoked war, and America will not sanction illegal spying;
\n
\nNOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, That the Washington State Democratic Central Committee (WSDCC) supports HJM 4027 and SJM 8016 whose language is attached hereto as House Joint Memorial 4027; and<\/p>\n

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the Chair of the WSDCC shall send copies of this resolution to all members of the Washington State Congressional Delegation; and<\/p>\n

BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED, That the Chair of the WSDCC shall exert all possible efforts to publicize and gain support for HJM 4027 \/ SJM 8016 attached below.<\/p>\n

Submitted to the Washington State Democratic Central Committee (WSDCC) for consideration at its January 26, 2008 meeting in Vancouver, WA by the King County Democratic Central Committee (KCDCC).<\/p>\n

###<\/p>\n

1 TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE SENATE AND THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE OF
\n2 REPRESENTATIVES, AND TO THE SENATE AND HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE
\n3 UNITED STATES, IN CONGRESS ASSEMBLED:
\n4 We, your Memorialists, the Senate and House of Representatives of
\n5 the State of Washington, in legislative session assembled, respectfully
\n6 represent and petition as follows:
\n7 WHEREAS, The citizens of Washington state expect and require their
\n8 highest elected officials be subject to the laws of the land, like any
\n9 citizen, and uphold the constitutional oath taken by them upon assuming
\n10 office; and
\n11 WHEREAS, The Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution
\n12 guarantees Americans privacy and freedom from warrantless search; and
\n13 WHEREAS, In 1967, the Supreme Court held in Katz v. United States,
\n14 that the monitoring and recording of private conversations constitutes
\n15 a “search” for Fourth Amendment purposes, and that the government must
\n16 obtain a warrant before domestic wiretapping; and
\n17 WHEREAS, In 1978, Congress passed a law making it a criminal
\n18 offense to eavesdrop on Americans without judicial oversight; and
\n19 WHEREAS, In 2001, the President signed a secret executive order<\/p>\n

p. 1 HJM 4027<\/p>\n

1 authorizing warrantless surveillance of American citizens in direct
\n2 conflict with the United States Constitution and United States law; and
\n3 WHEREAS, The President both demonstrated knowledge of the law he
\n4 was breaking, and lied about breaking the law by stating on April 20,
\n5 2004, “… a wiretap requires a court order. Nothing has changed, by the
\n6 way. When we’re talking about chasing down terrorists, we’re talking
\n7 about getting a court order before we do so.”; and
\n8 WHEREAS, The President again demonstrated knowledge of the law he
\n9 was breaking and again lied about his lawlessness by stating on July
\n10 20, 2005, “Law enforcement officers need a federal judge’s permission
\n11 to wiretap a foreign terrorist’s phone, or to track his calls, or to
\n12 search his property. Officers must meet strict standards to use any of
\n13 the tools we’re talking about.”; and
\n14 WHEREAS, On December 12, 2005, the New York Times published a
\n15 government leak that revealed the unlawful surveillance program,
\n16 stating that according to government officials: “Months after the
\n17 September 11 attacks, President Bush secretly authorized the National
\n18 Security Agency to eavesdrop on Americans and others inside the United
\n19 States to search for evidence of terrorist activity without the court-
\n20 approved warrants ordinarily required for domestic spying.”; and
\n21 WHEREAS, Five days later, on December 17, 2005, the President said,
\n22 “I have reauthorized this program more than thirty times since the
\n23 September the 11th attacks, and I intend to do so for as long as our
\n24 nation faces a continuing threat from al Qaeda and related groups.”;
\n25 and
\n26 WHEREAS, The Director of National Intelligence, Mike McConnell,
\n27 indicated in a letter to Senator Arlen Specter that the President’s
\n28 executive order in 2001 authorized additional secret surveillance
\n29 activities and undisclosed activities beyond the warrantless
\n30 surveillance of e-mails and phone calls that Bush had confirmed in
\n31 December 2005; and
\n32 WHEREAS, The President denied the necessary security clearances to
\n33 investigators from the Office of Professional Responsibility in the
\n34 Justice Department who were to have investigated this matter, but could
\n35 not and did not; and
\n36 WHEREAS, On March 10, 2004, Alberto Gonzales and the President’s
\n37 Chief of Staff, Andrew H. Card, Jr. tried to bypass Acting Attorney<\/p>\n

HJM 4027 p. 2<\/p>\n

1 General James Comey by meeting directly with a sick Mr. Ashcroft in his
\n2 hospital bed. According to the testimony of James Comey before the
\n3 Senate Judiciary Committee, the purpose of this visit was to
\n4 reauthorize the secret wiretapping program, which Comey had refused to
\n5 reauthorize; and
\n6 WHEREAS, The President subsequently appointed Mr. Gonzales to the
\n7 Attorney General post, who continued to reauthorize the warrantless
\n8 surveillance program until he tendered his resignation on August 26,
\n9 2007, under threat of impeachment; and
\n10 WHEREAS, The secret surveillance program uses a “splitter” to send
\n11 a copy of internet traffic and phone calls to a secure room operated by
\n12 the NSA in the San Francisco office of AT&T, according to the testimony
\n13 of Mark Klein, the retired AT&T communications technician who admitted
\n14 to connecting the “splitter” that copied the data in 2003; and
\n15 WHEREAS, Mark Klein also indicated that similar spy rooms were
\n16 being constructed in other cities, including Seattle, Washington, and
\n17 San Jose, Los Angeles, and San Diego; and
\n18 WHEREAS, On August 17, 2006, the United States District Court for
\n19 the Eastern District of Michigan, in ACLU v. NSA, ruled that the NSA
\n20 wiretapping program violated privacy and free speech rights,
\n21 constitutional separation of powers, and the 1978 Foreign Intelligence
\n22 Surveillance Act, and stated that “It was never the intent of the
\n23 framers to give the President such unfettered control, particularly
\n24 where his actions blatantly disregard the parameters clearly enumerated
\n25 in the Bill of Rights”; and
\n26 WHEREAS, This unwarranted and unlawful, and seemingly
\n27 unconstitutional surveillance program is still being used to spy on
\n28 American citizens; and
\n29 WHEREAS, United States and international law forbid invading a
\n30 foreign country without provocation; and
\n31 WHEREAS, International laws ratified by Congress are part of United
\n32 States law according to Article VI of the United States Constitution,
\n33 which states “This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States
\n34 which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or
\n35 which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be
\n36 the supreme Law of the Land”; and
\n37 WHEREAS, The United Nations Charter was ratified by the United
\n38 States in 1945 and requires that member states, including the United<\/p>\n

p. 3 HJM 4027<\/p>\n

1 States, not attack or threaten attack of another country without
\n2 explicit Security Council approval except for self-defense against an
\n3 armed attack; and
\n4 WHEREAS, There was no armed attack upon the United States by Iraq,
\n5 and the United Nations Security Council did not vote to approve the use
\n6 of force against Iraq; and
\n7 WHEREAS, On September 16, 2004, the Secretary General of the United
\n8 Nations Kofi Annan, commented on the United States invasion of Iraq by
\n9 stating: “It was not in conformity with the United Nations charter.
\n10 From our point of view, from the charter point of view, it was
\n11 illegal.”; and
\n12 WHEREAS, In October 2002, Congress authorized the President to use
\n13 his discretion to decide whether or not to use force against Iraq; and
\n14 WHEREAS, The President and Vice President mislead Congress and the
\n15 American people about the potential threat of Iraq; and
\n16 WHEREAS, The President and Vice President were either deliberately
\n17 deceitful or willfully ignorant about the potential threat of Iraq; and
\n18 WHEREAS, On March 19, 2003, the President, acting on his sole
\n19 discretion, ordered the illegal invasion of Iraq, according to his
\n20 letter to Congress dated March 21, 2003, stating “I directed U.S. Armed
\n21 Forces, operating with other coalition forces, to commence combat
\n22 operations on March 19, 2003, against Iraq.”; and
\n23 WHEREAS, United States law, 18 U.S.C Sec. 2340A forbids a United
\n24 States citizen from committing or conspiring to commit the offense of
\n25 torture outside of the United States; and
\n26 WHEREAS, International law forbids torture and the United States
\n27 has bound itself to this unconditional prohibition by the American
\n28 Convention on Human Rights signed in 1977, the International Covenant
\n29 on Civil and Political Rights signed in 1977 and ratified in 1992, and
\n30 the United Nations Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman
\n31 or Degrading Treatment or Punishment signed in 1988 and ratified in
\n32 1994; and
\n33 WHEREAS, In 1947, the United States charged a Japanese officer,
\n34 Yukio Asano, with war crimes for waterboarding a United States
\n35 civilian; and
\n36 WHEREAS, In March 2006, the United States Department of State’s<\/p>\n

HJM 4027 p. 4<\/p>\n

1 Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor released a 2005 report on
\n2 human rights practices in Tunisia in which it formally recognized
\n3 “submersion of the head in water” as torture; and
\n4 WHEREAS, The CIA has confirmed using waterboarding and former CIA
\n5 agency official, John Kiriakou, has told news agencies that the White
\n6 House and Justice Department knew of and authorized the use of new
\n7 harsh questioning techniques, including waterboarding; and
\n8 WHEREAS, The President, acting with the support of the Vice
\n9 President and the same former Attorney General who resigned under
\n10 threat of impeachment, authorized the abusive treatment of prisoners;
\n11 and
\n12 WHEREAS, The President and Vice President used “war on terror” as
\n13 part of their justification for authorization of the abusive
\n14 techniques; and
\n15 WHEREAS, The CIA has reportedly used waterboarding on Abd al-Rahim
\n16 al-Nashiri, one of the prisoners; and
\n17 WHEREAS, In November 2005, the CIA destroyed video evidence of
\n18 their interrogations of Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri; and
\n19 WHEREAS, All the details Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri made of his claims
\n20 of torture were redacted from his transcript; and
\n21 WHEREAS, Federal attorneys defended the abusive treatment of
\n22 prisoners by arguing that antitorture provisions did not apply to
\n23 Guantanamo Bay captives; and
\n24 WHEREAS, When Congress sought to reaffirm the United States
\n25 prohibition on torture by passing a 2005 antitorture law, the President
\n26 signed the law with a signing statement that effectively states that
\n27 the President has the right to torture at his discretion because, “The
\n28 executive branch shall construe…the Act, relating to detainees, in a
\n29 manner consistent with the constitutional authority of the President to
\n30 supervise the unitary executive branch…”; and
\n31 WHEREAS, The abusive techniques authorized by the President were
\n32 inflicted on people the President declared “enemy combatants”; and
\n33 WHEREAS, The abusive techniques authorized by the President were
\n34 committed during an armed conflict; and
\n35 WHEREAS, The abusive techniques authorized by the President have
\n36 previously been classified as torture and prosecuted as a war crime by
\n37 the United States; and<\/p>\n

p. 5 HJM 4027<\/p>\n

1 WHEREAS, International law defines torture during an armed conflict
\n2 as a war crime; and
\n3 WHEREAS, International law defines that a commander involved in
\n4 ordering, allowing, or insufficiently preventing and prosecuting a war
\n5 crime is criminally liable under the Command Responsibility doctrine;
\n6 and
\n7 WHEREAS, The President appears to be guilty of war crimes by simple
\n8 application of the Command Responsibility doctrine to the publicly
\n9 known facts; and
\n10 WHEREAS, Based on the overwhelming evidence that has been presented
\n11 to the American people as established in this resolution, numerous
\n12 grounds for impeachment appear to exist; and
\n13 WHEREAS, Illegally authorizing torture in violation of United
\n14 States and international laws, and committing war crimes would seem to
\n15 constitute an impeachable offense; and
\n16 WHEREAS, The President’s authorization and subsequent lies about an
\n17 unwarranted, unlawful, and apparently unconstitutional surveillance
\n18 program would seem to constitute an impeachable offense; and
\n19 WHEREAS, Misleading the Congress and the American people to justify
\n20 invading another country in direct violation of international and
\n21 United States laws would seem to constitute an impeachable act; and
\n22 WHEREAS, Such offenses, if committed, are subversive of
\n23 constitutional government to the great prejudice of the cause of law
\n24 and justice, and to the manifest injury of the people of Washington
\n25 state and of the United States of America; and
\n26 WHEREAS, Petitions from the country at large may be presented by
\n27 the Speaker of the House according to Clause 3 of House Rule XII; and
\n28 WHEREAS, Jefferson’s Manual section LIII, 603, states that
\n29 impeachment may be set in motion by charges transmitted from the
\n30 legislature of a state; and
\n31 WHEREAS, Impeachment is a process defined in the United States
\n32 Constitution by which charges are brought against a President or Vice
\n33 President or civil officers of the United States in the House of
\n34 Representatives; and
\n35 WHEREAS, The filing of these charges is followed by a trial in the
\n36 United States Senate that determines guilt or innocence; and
\n37 WHEREAS, If the President or Vice President committed such<\/p>\n

HJM 4027 p. 6<\/p>\n

1 offenses, ignoring these offenses would undermine core American values
\n2 of truth and justice; and
\n3 WHEREAS, Failing to impeach the President and Vice President if
\n4 they have committed such offenses would signal tacit approval of these
\n5 activities and sanction their use by future administrations; and
\n6 WHEREAS, Failing to impeach the President and Vice President simply
\n7 because they are serving their second term would signal future
\n8 administrations that any high crime or misdemeanor, if committed or
\n9 covered up until their second term, will be tolerated until an upcoming
\n10 election; and
\n11 WHEREAS, Freedom and liberty, and the laws and the Constitution of
\n12 the United States of America can only be protected by Americans; and<\/p>\n
