Why no impeachment -- or any accountability at all?
A complex issue. Apparently.
Gonzales was forced out, but not for what he did. He was forced out because he didn't do what he did well enough. So they got Mukasey, as corrupt as Gonzales but usually smoother about it. Well, until the Incident At The Commonwealth Club. But not to worry. He has people to smooth it over for him. Carry on.
Yoo went back to corrupting the minds of impressionable youth at Boalt Hall, where he had come from to begin with. He is a made man. Corrupting youth was his primary function before he was summoned to Serve the regime, and it is again. He's a Federalist Society mole, like hundreds or thousands of others "placed" in strategic positions all over this fair land of ours. Nothing can be done to him so long as he is protected by his patrons, Addington and Cheney. And so he laughs in your face and pokes sticks in your eye, because he can. And there is nothing you can do about it. Punk.
Pelosi long ago ordered that there be no discussion of, let alone investigation that might lead to impeachment in her house, and she has been absolutely as stubborn about this command as any Bushevik has been about establishing Autocracy. We ask why and we get seething contempt in response. No. No. No. No. No! Why? SHUT UP! The House is considering Important Things. GO. AWAY!
Why? We may never know, but in the meantime, there will be no impeachment, no matter the misdeeds at the White House. She would rather risk her seat in Congress than allow her House to consider the grave matter of removing the executive for cause. No matter what.
There will be no impeachment, therefore, no matter what -- unless We, The People take upon it upon ourselves to do what our representatives in Congress assembled have been forbidden to do.
But, but, but... we CAN'T! It wouldn't be LEGAL!! The media wouldn't COVER it! It would be a JOKE! The People can't do ANYTHING except through their representatives in Congress assembled and if their representatives refuse or are forbidden to do what is necessary, the People cannot (OMG, no!) take matters into their own hands and... do what must be done... set up a People's Tribunal and investigate and impeach and convict the bastards anyway.
Nope. Can't do that.
Never mind, then.
