TO IMPEACH OR NOT TO IMPEACH?
Article II, Section 4 of the federal Constitution states that civil officers of the US may be impeached for commission of “Treason, Bribery or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.” Determining whether sufficient grounds exist for impeachment is the prerogative of the House of Representatives, while the actual trial subsequent to impeachment is entrusted to the Senate. Relevant questions relate to whether the alleged criminal actions were knowingly and deliberately committed and the political judgment as to whether impeachment – or the failure to impeach – will serve the best interests of the nation.
Presenters: TIM PENNY and JODIN MOREY. Arguing for impeachment will be Jodin Morey, Mr. Morey is a Cofounder of Impeach for Peace and author of the Do-It-Yourself Impeachment. He’s been heard on both Mike Malloy’s and Peter Werbe’s radio shows. Mr. Morey was interviewed about impeachment on the local TV show: Our World Today. And Mr. Morey published a series documenting President Bush’s impeachable offenses on OhMyNews International. Opposing impeachment will be Tim Penny, a senior fellow and co-Director of the Humphrey Institute Policy Forum. After representing Minnesota’s First Congressional District from 1982 to 1994, Mr. Penny served on the transition team of Governor Jesse Ventura and, in 2002 was himself the Independence Party candidate for governor of Minnesota. Author of three books, including The 15 Biggest lies in Politics (1998), Mr. Penny is a regular public speaker, radio commentator, and editorial writer on topics of political importance at both the federal and state level.
