A question to the President Elect

How will you remove the stain on our Constitution left by the failure of this Congress to honor their oath of office to protect and defend the Constitution in the face of so many carefully researched and well documented violations of trust and law attributed to Bush, Cheney et al?

The Constitution does not empower Speaker Pelosi to take impeachment "off the table". The repudiation of Bush's impeachable actions through the constitutionally mandated process of impeachment is the only way to demonstrate to our children, future Presidents and the world that our system of government establishes a nation of laws that works for all the people.

This work left undone is a corrosive so dangerous to the fundamental ideals of our democracy that it undermines the very oath of office taken by every elected officeholder.

Personally, I find no motivation to work for a political party whose leadership and whose elected representatives found insufficient devotion to the Constitution to use its mandated procedure, impeachment, to remove the President as well as the Vice President whose actions in office have been more reprehensibly impeachable than those of any administration in our history.

If Daschle and Killefer are to be held "accountable" for errors that they have corrected - let us see a similar stringency in holding the Bush crime family accountable for their violations of the Constitution, the Rule of Law, International Treaties, the Geneva Convention, the U.N. Charter.

The Turd In The Punchbowl

The turd in the punchbowl is the failure of our democratic government to hold the Bush Administration accountable for its violations of the Constitution and the Rule of Law. This criminal failure to protect and defend the Constitution by our elected Representatives, whose sworn duty it was, is a festering wound, overlooked in these festivities that must be cauterized. Executive Orders, Presidential Edicts and Signing Statements may change policy, but do not establish us as a nation of laws.

Concern for the new President

Even I, an avowed atheist, may be moved to pray for Barak Obama as he shoulders the burdens of leadership of a nation whose citizens and whose elected representatives have so devalued the rule of law and our Constitution that George Bush and Richard Cheney were permitted to continue poisoning the environment, both moral and physical, until their very last days in office when they might have pardoned themselves and their cohorts for the many impeachable actions that have been so well documented over the past eight years.
