The Loss of John Judge Hits Hard

Leave a Comment /

Our society has lost a great activist today with the death of John Judge.  No one spoke more clearly, strongly, and informedly on political power, militarism, and activism for positive change.  While John lived nextdoor to Dennis Kucinich — and with one of the best views and one of the best collections of political books and documents — in Washington, D.C., it was as staff person for Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney that he advanced numerous causes of peace and justice and read more

The Lawlessness of the Enforce the Law Act

Leave a Comment /

Not being mush of a masochist, I don’t usually read emails from the Democratic Whip in Congress, but I opened one Tuesday night and was mildly excited to read that the U.S. House of Representatives would spend Wednesday debating the “ENFORCE the Law Act of 2014.” Wow, I thought, which law will they pick? Will it be the Humphrey-Hawkins Full Employment Act? Would I, moments from now, be phoning a bunch of people to tell them jobs are on the way? Or … wait a minute! read more

Presidential Restraint Is Alive and Well

… among people who are not the president.

On Presidents Day, RootsAction.org set up a petition in response to this news:

“An American citizen who is a member of al-Qaida is actively planning attacks against Americans overseas, U.S. officials say,” the Associated Press reports — “and the Obama administration is wrestling with whether to kill him with a drone strike and how to do so legally under its new stricter targeting policy issued last year.”

Not Impeaching Bush Is Sure Paying Off!

Leave a Comment /

Many loyal Republicans opposed impeaching George W. Bush.  So did most liberal and progressive activist groups, labor unions, peace organizations, churches, media outlets, journalists, pundits, organizers, and bloggers, not to mention most Democratic members of Congress, most Democrats dreaming of someday being in Congress, and — toward the end of the Bush presidency — most supporters of candidate Barack Obama or candidate Hillary Clinton. 

Remarkably in the face of this opposition, read more

Dallas Morning News Claims Bush Never Lied

Leave a Comment /

George W. Bush should be given an indictment, not a library.  An online email action is letting the Department of Justice know the facts about the former president.  And the People’s Response to the George W. Bush Library and Policy Institute is filling the streets of Dallas with protesters this week as five current or former presidents join in a celebration of Dubya’s national service.  I’ll certainly be there.

I wish I were kidding about the following.  The read more

Is Impeachment Gone for Good?

Leave a Comment /

Henry Kissinger’s winning of the Nobel Peace Prize didn’t, in the end, eliminate satire from the earth (or peace prizes for war-makers, for that matter). Conceivably, the impeachment of Bill Clinton and the lack of impeachment of George W. Bush haven’t eliminated presidential impeachment from the Constitution.

I’ll grant you, it looks pretty grim. Congress is dominated by the two real branches of the U.S. government: the Democratic and the Republican. Democrats obey Democratic read more
