Gitmo Is Killing Me

Something like a quarter of Americans also think the President is a crypto-Muslim. In the Wall Street Journal, today, for UN ambassador John Bolton and Bush Admin. legal adviser John Yoo are arguing that the administration signed up to a UN treaty intended to curb the global arms trade is really a cover for destroying the 2nd amendment and confiscating Americans' guns.

I am, frankly, surprised that that nobody in the House has offered articles of impeachment so far. (checks) Well almost, but it died q uiet death in the House Judiciary committee: http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c112:H.CON.RES.107:

This is one of those cases where only Nixon can go to China.

Impeachment is surely warranted for:

1. Assassination American citizens without trial (drone program)

2. War in Libya without congressional approval.

While I agree with you, can you think of a US president that hasn't committed an impeachable offence? We almost expect them (along with prime ministers, premiers, etc) to do rotten things, once in power. They are rarely held accountable for their crimes.

#1, maybe. For #2, I'd say the majority of presidents of the past 50 years undertaken military action without approval of Congress.
