Bush’s Gravest Impeachable Crime

DAVE LINDORFF, afterdowningstreet.org

When my co-author Barbara Olshansky and I wrote The Case for Impeachment during the waning months of 2005 and early 2006, it seemed clear to us that the biggest impeachable crimes of the Bush regime involved the illegal war against Iraq, and the trashing of the rights and civil liberties enshrined in the Constitution. Almost as an afterthought, we also included a proposed article of impeachment against the president for his insidious efforts to block any regulatory, Congressional or international action on confronting global warming.

Now that the first two UN reports on the causes and magnitude of the threats posed by global warming have come out–albeit in watered down form, thanks in part to the administration’s continuing efforts to downplay the crisis–and now that independent scientific research is suggesting that the disaster facing life on earth, and human life and civilization in particular is of catastrophic proportions, it seems that perhaps we should turn things around.

  1. Why do you believe we hate Bush? This article just fears his effects on the environment. In general this website is pursuing the rule of law and the defense of the Constitution. If Bush honored these things, we’d have no cause to wish him removed.

  2. Wow, you people just love to hate Bush. You sure are doing your part to tear him down. I hope you get the self gratefication that you are looking for.
