"every government degenerates when trusted to the rulers of the people alone."--Thomas Jefferson

on Bush's new Iraq plan:

"A tragic mistake." Delaware Sen. Joe Biden

A "fool's paradise." Connecticut Sen. Chris Dodd

"The most dangerous foreign policy blunder in this country since Vietnam." Nebraska Sen. Chuck Hagel

"This is the craziest, dumbest plan I've ever seen or heard of in my life," Hawaii Rep. Neil Abercrombie

i have a question: when the president has acted (and continues to act) in direct opposition to the will of the American people --whom he serves-- who have explicitly and politically told him what they want, at what point do the impeachment proceedings begin?

"...impeachment must be both at the ready and readily employed--not for the simple settling of scores, not for political gain, but for the defense of freedoms that are ever in the balance." -- John Nichols "The Genius of Impeachment: The Founders' Cure for Royalism"
