BUSH IMPEACHMENTUM?

Sorry, the title of this post was supposed be reminiscent of "joementum" the term Joe Leiberman used to describe how well his presidential campaign was going. ANYway, so a couple of weeks ago, CommonDreams.Org posted [http://www.commondreams.org/views06/0505-29.htm|this piece] from Progressive.org. Here's a taste:

Impeachment Momentum Builds
by Matthew Rothschild


Slowly and steadily, the drive for the impeachment of George W. Bush is building.

Neil Young’s song, “Impeach the President,” has given the effort increasing visibility.

And a story in the Boston Globe by Charlie Savage on April 30 showed just how necessary the impeachment drive is.

“President Bush has quietly claimed the authority to disobey more than 750 laws enacted since he took office, asserting that he has the power to set aside any statute passed by Congress when it conflicts with the Constitution,” Savage wrote. Bush has done so by issuing so-called signing statements on “more than one out of every ten bills he has signed.”

Administration spokesmen told Savage that Bush “will faithfully execute the law in a manner that is consistent with the Constitution.”

But there’s the rub.

It’s not up to him to judge that.

It’s up to the courts.

This was back on May 5. It's now May 27. All I can say is: Whahappa?
