ACLU of Southern California: Impeach Bush and Cheney

Do you want to know why it's so tedious sitting next to an ACLU board member at dinner? Well, now you'll know.

Yes, I know this is only the Sothern California branch. And National may not follow. But here is the morally smug and politically idiotic statement issued from the beach.

ACLU of Southern California Calls for Impeachment of Bush and Cheney -- Will National Follow?
ACLU-SC Calls for Impeachment of Bush and Cheney

The ACLU of Southern California has called for the impeachment of President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney for High Crimes and Misdemeanors arising out of their abuse of power and numerous violations of the Constitution.

The Board of Directors of the ACLU-SC voted on November 14, 2007 without objection (and one abstention) to call on Congress to promptly convene impeachment hearings.

In March, 1971 and again in July, 1973 the ACLU-SC called for the impeachment of Richard M. Nixon. In September of 1973, the National Board of the ACLU joined the call for impeachment.

The ACLU-SC will shortly release a report detailing the grounds for impeachment of Bush and Cheney.
