Feingold: Dems Must Do More Than Criticize Bush
I'm with Feingold, it's simply a ludicrous position that Pelsosi, Clinton and others are maintaining. They are saying that Bush's illegal and unprecendented claims of power shouldn't be challenged with impeachment proceedings. I've even heard arguments that impeaching Bush would only result in a Cheney presidency. Leaving aside the fact that 54% of Americans want Cheney impeached as well, surely whoever replaces Bush is a secondary issue to the principle that the President is not above the law?

Then why not start off with Cheney? His crimes are more overt, he's less liked (I suspect there are many in his own party who'd love to see him burn), and maybe taking him down would scare Dubya straight. Probably not, but it's worth a shot. Plus, it'd be interesting to see what'd come out in a Cheney trial.
I think you raise a very good point Dave. I don't actually think that Dubya would do half of what he does without Cheney goading him. Lets face it, Dubya may be arrogant, but he simply lacks the intellect to think of half the shit he's pulling.
