Failure to impeach, in light of crimes against the Republic of the magnitude we've witnessed, also becomes more than a mere failure at some point; it also becomes an additional crime against the people and the Constitution. It is clearly being generated by what can only be seen as political corruption by Democrats who value increased political power more than the Constitution and the country. Their continued refusal to uphold the law is now becoming constitutionally criminal itself. Any Prosecutor who refuses to prosecute for a perceived increase in personal power or political gain is rightly labeled criminally corrupt himself. Impeachment must neither be an opportunity nor a privilege in a situation like this; it's the legal obligation of duly elected representatives to end a criminal assault on the American people and their government. Neither the Democratic party or it's leadership had or has any right to refuse to undertake the impeachment of this President, least of all to preserve perceived political gains.

The American people need to rise up and demand the Democratic party act: They must subpoena George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, and other high officials and place them under oath in public hearings regarding the lies and falsified intelligence upon which they plunged this nation into a ruinous and lethal war. If they fail to act now, the American people, and Democrats in particular must in no way support the continuation of Democrats in power in 2008. As Americans, we can not afford that any President is placed into the office in it's now constitutionally decimated condition; impeachment must be undertaken to restore the balance of powers and credibility of the United States, both abroad, and with it's own people. The time is short and the Democratic majority have an absolute legal obligation to act now to protect us from further executive tyranny and high crimes.

The leadership of the Democratic party must be made to know that their craven and fundamentally corrupt current political calculation can and will be made to backfire if they do not change course now. I for one, will hold my representatives accountable for what's now clearly amounting to their aiding and abetting an ongoing criminal conspiracy; Jay Inslee and Patty Murray: You'd better stop impeding the lawful removal of this administration now or be ready to clean out your offices in 2008. I will not support you under any circumstances if this continues: I will consider it criminal. ...
