Thread Name: BS: A Declaration of Impeachment
Subject: RE: BS: A Declaration of Impeachment
Thousands of U.S. citizens are in prison for the same (or similar) crimes as "Scooter" Libby committed. Their sentences will not be commuted; they just have to serve out their time.
   This is the way it should be, but apparently the phrase "liberty and justice for all" is no longer relevant under the Bush administration. It seems that well-connected individuals such as "Scooter" get a special brand of liberty and justice.
   This is yet another reason to impeach Bush and Cheney. They have proved again that they have no respect for the laws of this country or the Constitution.
   People who break the law should be held accountable. The same laws should apply equally - to everyone - regardless of who they are or who they know. "Scooter" Libby should serve his jail time, and Bush and Cheney should be impeached. No one is above the law.
