Congress Does its Job, Sort of

Video from the non-impeachment hearing is up on you-tube and it’s very good, if a little sad knowing that for all the legal and ethical intelligence being shown, nothing will come of this.

It’s not that there isn’t time. It’s that Democrats feel it would hurt their chances in November, since Bush is at an all-time low anyway and they don’t want to mobilize the GOP base to defend itself. Republicans, of course, are complete hypocrites, impeaching Clinton for lying about a blow job while ignoring what is likely mass manslaughter, if not murder, many large-scale violations of the constitution, and clear war crimes.

Part of me was hoping we’d wind up in San Francisco by September just so I could vote out Nancy Pelosi for betraying her oath of office. It’s amazing that someone can be so smart but yet so ignorant in the grand scheme of things. Because the bottom line is that Democrats may serve themselves this November, but if they don’t stand up for the Rule of Law and against BushCo crimes, we won’t have much of a country left to help with better healthcare, etc..

We’re living in times that could see the US experiment literally end in a fistful of fascism, when a Bush-like President comes along and does everything BushCo did, but with the intent of never letting go.
