(The following e-mail went out from Democrats.com which is a reminder that the attorney firing scandal is one more impeachable offense to add to the laundry list of charges against the Bush Administration already confirmed. This crime slipped beneath the radar for the most part, yet is one that didn’t evade the watchful eyes of the attorneys serving in congress in the Judicial Committees of both branches of Congress):
Bush to Congress: Drop Dead
After weeks of administration lies about the “Pearl Harbor Day Massacre” of eight U.S. Attorneys, the Senate and House Judiciary Committees are preparing to subpoena Alberto Gonzales, Harriet Miers, and Karl Rove.
But George Bush went on TV to declare he will “oppose any attempts to subpoena White House officials.” Why? Obviously because Bush, Gonzales, Miers, and Rove conspired to fire U.S. attorneys who were prosecuting Republican corruption. That’s obstruction of justice – grounds not only for impeachment but also prosecution.
Bush promised to fight any subpoenas in the courts if he has to. Of course we know the Republican-controlled Supreme Court will take Bush’s side, just as it did in 2000 when it threw out 175,000 never-counted Florida votes to steal the Presidency for him.
Ultimately Congress has just one tool to force Bush and Cheney to respect the Constitution: Impeachment and Removal.
