Kucinich Vows to Fight

Representative Dennis Kucinich told reporters, according to The Hill journal, that he does not intend to let his 35 article impeachment bill die a quiet death in the House Judiciary Committee. He will reintroduce the bill with co-sponsors in thirty days if there is no action on it. He has an uphill fight since the Democratic leadership in both houses would rather let the carcass of the boy king George twist slowly in the political winds sweeping the Hill. The Founders wisely provided a remedy for an executive branch gone wild. Some even foresaw the pernicious influence of faction, but provided no remedy for that in the Constitution. The Republicans, in their cynical effort to impeach Bill Clinton for false statements relating to what most Americans considered a personal failing, politicized the impeachment process perhaps beyond resort. One network commentator suggested that the impeachment of Clinton may have been a deliberate ploy to in order to inoculate his Republican successor. Perhaps that idea is slightly too Machiavellian even for Darth Cheney and Carl 'Turd Blossom' Rove. However, it is known that the neocons and the Vice President entered office fully intending to maximize the power of the president at the expense of Congress especially when foreign policy decisions were concerned. If any president in the history of the Republic should answer for his high crimes in the dock of the Senate, it is Bush & Company.
