About That Dem Plan To Impeach Bush

Topics: Political News and commentaries

According to Byron York's NRO piece, "The Democrats' Impeachment Road Map," should Democrats win control of the House of Representatives this November, impeachment of President Bush is exactly what the Dems are planning to do :

... There's a word you won't find in the text of Democratic Rep. John Conyers's new "investigative report" on the Bush administration, "The Constitution in Crisis: The Downing Street Minutes and Deception, Manipulation, Torture, Retribution, and Coverups in the Iraq War, and Illegal Domestic Surveillance." And the word is...impeachment. Yet the 350-page "Constitution in Crisis," released last week, is, more than anything else, a detailed road map for the impeachment of George W. Bush, ready for use should Democrats win control of the House of Representatives this November. And Conyers, who would become chairman of the House Judiciary Committee -- the panel that would initiate any impeachment proceedings -- is the man who could make it happen.

While it's absent in the body of the report, the I-word does appear a few times in Conyers's 1,401 footnotes, which include citations of authorities ranging from the left-wing conspiracy website rawstory.com to the left-wing antiwar sites democracyrising.us and afterdowningstreet.org to the left-wing British newspaper the Guardian to the left-wing magazines The Nation and Mother Jones to the left-wing blogosphere favorite Murray Waas to the New York Times columnists Paul Krugman, Maureen Dowd, Bob Herbert, and Frank Rich to former Clinton aide Sidney Blumenthal to the New Yorker's Seymour Hersh. (Sources for "The Constitution in Crisis" even include one story co-written by the disgraced Internet writer Jason Leopold.)

As Captain Ed suggests, one might think that anything based on Jason Leopold and Joe Wilson has doomed itself to failure, but if Conyers takes control of the House Judiciary Committee, this is exactly what we will get:

Nancy Pelosi has soft-pedaled this since Conyers first threatened impeachment, knowing that it will rally Republicans to the polls, but Conyers has not abandoned his conspiracy-theory project. Read all of York's column to see just how far down the rabbit hole Conyers has gone, and how far he plans to take the rest of us.

Catch the rest at Captain's Quarters.

The mere thought of people like Nancy Pelosi, John Conyers, Harry Reed in leadership roles is sufficient to encourage me to be sure to do as the Democrats always tell their voters to do, as in 2004 - be sure to vote early and vote often!!! After all, it's the Democratic (big D) way.
