I don’t understand the people who keep saying it is too late and to just let President Bush’s term run out. Is there a Statute of Limitations on war crimes? NO! Is there a time limit for holding public officials accountable for violating the oath of office where they swear to uphold the Constitution?
If elected officials are not held liable and accountable for their actions then our form of government is useless. We are supposed to have checks and balances. The President is not supposed to issue private executive orders that members of Congress cannot see and the Supreme Court cannot rule on. We are a nation of laws and no one person is above the law, not even the President!
This isn’t some Democratic payback for the impeachment of President Clinton. Clinton deserved to be impeached as well, though quite honestly I think the tried him for the wrong offenses.
And while we are at it, I think every member of Congress who voted for the Patriot Act should immediately be removed from office. I’m not sure why they voted on a bill they never even had a chance to read. Responsible members of Congress take their oaths seriously and those who vote blindly need to be held accountable. I think they are all guilty of crimes against the Constitution as well.
And for the record, I am STILL voting for Ron Paul. Please join the Campaign for Liberty at http://www.campaignforliberty.com/. Stand up and be counted!
