Who Should be Impeached First?

JOIN THE NEW YORK TIMES IN CALLING FOR IMPEACHMENT OF GONZALES

The New York Times published an editorial over the weekend concluding that when the founders created the remedy of impeachment "Mr. Gonzales's malfeasance is just the sort they were worried about." At this point we would say it is rather a foot race as to who should be impeached first, with 28 House members already backing the Jay Inslee call for the impeachment of Gonzales versus the 20 backing the Kucinich call for impeachment of Cheney. With the Times now weighing in we think it's time to give Gonzales another push.

Remember, the White House had ordered the Justice Department (read
Gonzales) not to prosecute contempt charges against any of its
operatives who it had also ordered not to testify in the first place. Another outrage was disclosed just today when Leahy revealed that a Republican senator at a committee meeting to consider subpoenas stated that he had been told by Cheney that Congress was "not allowed" to do that. Since when did Republican senators become the mindless puppets of the White House? No later than the year 2000 we think.

Gonzales who HAS testified has told so many different stories that
were he not himself the attorney general he would be facing perjury
charges right now. But of course even if he were convicted he would
instantly be commuted or pardoned as was Scooter Libby. There is one
and only one constitutional recourse left and that is impeachment.
The appeal courts have already been stacked with right wing judges
and they will not intervene. The solicitor general will not appoint a special counsel. Only through impeachment can Congress demand a
return to integrity.

It was Alberto Gonzales who tried to browbeat a semi-conscious John
Ashcroft into signing off on a patently illegal spying program, who
was the point man in doing a legal end run around the laws against
torture, who let the White House dictate which U.S. attorneys were
not sufficiently partisan in their prosecutions, and who then lied
repeatedly under oath about it all. Did Cheney also dictate to him
what he was not allowed to do?

For those focused on impeaching Cheney and Bush we suggest this is
not a distraction. Instead it could be an important strategic
icebreaker. To just get the word "impeachment" past the lips of some
members of Congress has been a major struggle. It would not be the
first time a cabinet officer has been impeached, as Secretary of War
Belknap was in 1876. The remedy has not been used often, but in the
case of the Cheney cabal, certainly not nearly enough.

Please take action NOW, so we can win all victories that are supposed to be ours, and forward this message to everyone else you know.
