Pelosi to Oppose Impeaching President McCain

Pelosi Drafts 2009 Response to Calls to Impeach President McCain
By David Swanson

Found hanging out of the door of a limousine in San Francisco:

Draft Response to Calls to Impeach President McCain
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Third Most Powerful Person in the World, Very Important

The current president, like the last one, and like his party, is a total failure. He’s not a leader. He has no judgment, he has no knowledge, he has no plan. I’ve been saying that for years. I am a long-term read more

I Have Contempt for Contempt of Congress

By David Swanson

Congress has sent contempt citations and seen them ignored. Congress has taken the matter to court and seen it stalled for many months or years. Congressional committees have passed contempt citations that have never been sent, because what’s the point? The House Judiciary Committee has now passed yet another, this one against Rove. And why will Congress not impeach his boss? You’ll have to ask Nancy. And why will Congress never ever put Rove in jail on Capitol read more

By David Swanson

From The Nation:

Katrina vanden Heuvel: “On balancing politics and staying true to values… If the book’s subtitle is A Message to America’s Daughters, what is your message to those daughters who will ask what our representatives did to hold this President and Administration accountable for grave abuses of power?

Should Conyers Impeach or Write Another Book About Bush and Cheney's Crimes?

Don’t Buy Conyers’ New Book Unless He’s Held an Impeachment Hearing
By David Swanson

House Judiciary Chairman John Conyers could impeach Bush and Cheney in an hour if he chose. They have refused to comply with subpoenas and contempt citations, making a laughingstock of his so-called “oversight.” They have rewritten laws with “signing statements” and proceeded to violate the laws. They have openly admitted violating FISA. They’ve obstructed justice, read more

How to Get a Job By Shooting Up a Church

By David Swanson

Imagine being so angry that you couldn’t find a job that you were able to decide, as a man in Tennessee just did, that the way to solve your problems was to attack liberals – the people who support (albeit ineffectively) workers’ rights, union rights, and fair trade, who oppose NAFTA, oppose tax breaks for shipping jobs overseas, support investing in job creation at home rather than wars abroad, and want to tax corporations and the super-rich rather than small read more

The U.S. Department of Media

By David Swanson

Last Friday one of two things indisputably happened. Either a dozen senior Congress members and several well-known expert witnesses went certifiably and collectively insane, or charges of the most extreme executive abuses of power ever heard in the history of this nation were backed up by overwhelming evidence during a six-hour hearing of the House Judiciary Committee focused on the possible need to impeach the President and the Vice President. Either way, a nation with a public read more
