Did Congress approve this? Our National Guard is in Iraq and George W. sets up policy for another army to come in and enforce George W.'s war against Americans. Would the Canadian military be used against Americans? It's against the American Constitution for the U.S. Army to be used against us, but is it illigal to use another army against us? What are our rights regarding a foreign military in America?
If Congress is capable of investigating steroids, they are capable of investigating foreign military on American soil.Did Congress approve this? Our National Guard is in Iraq and George W. sets up policy... more

It's about time! Too many questions with too few answers. America needs hearings, with testimony under oath. If there are not grounds for further action after hearings, so be it. At least we will show the world we are an open government with three equal branches of government. George W. may be a decider, but he is not a dictator, yet. Our elected representatives have an obligation to pursue the truth. The rule of law applies to all of us, even the President. It's about time! Too many questions with too few answers.

I had thought John Conyers would be my hero, unfortunately after the Democrats got the lead in Congress and the Senate and he was allowed out of the basement, he didn't use it. He didn't have the hearing in the light of day like many of us had hoped he would.
Does John Conyers want to go down in history of the sole man who COULD HAVE impeached the worst administration in the history of the USA but DIDN"T?
The sole man who COULD HAVE helped restore the USA's global credibility by upholding the US Constitution but didn't?
The sole man who
COULD HAVE prevented the "Great Depression Pt. 2" by helping to get the global economy back on track by restoring the USA's global credibility with the impeachment of Bush/Cheney but didn't?
The sole man who COULD HAVE prevented the escalation of WWIII with the US/Israeli bombing of the Bushehr nuclear plant in Iran in March of 2008 which led to a wider war with Iran/Russia/China/etc. but didn't???
The sole man who chose the easy and cowardly path to keep 'impeachment off the table" because of selfish partisan politics related to the 2008 election????
Does John Conyers want to be remembered as a ZERO?
or
Does Conyers want to be remember as a HERO?
-A great American who grew up in Detroit and later fought in the Korean war.
-A great American who had a long illustrious career in the US House of Representative who was one of the founders of the Congressional Black Caucus.
-A great American who supported the impeachment of Dick Nixon.
-A real LEADER who had the courage to uphold the U.S. Constitution when virtually all his co-horts in Congress were more worried about partisan politics and the 2008 election.
-A REAL AMERICAN HERO who finally chose to do the right thing for America potentially risking his own career by instigating impeachment hearing against Dick/Bush putting an end to their flagrant violations of US and international law!
It is my belief (as Rob has suggested for some time now) that Conyers is the key. He is the single person who can get the impeachment ball rolling. So perhaps getting him to think about his own LEGACY is the way to pursue this idea. These are the questions Conyers needs to be asked. These are the questions we need to pound into Conyers mind over and over because perhaps unlike most politicians he still has a conscience? Maybe just maybe if we bombarded his office/phone/emails/fax machines/etc with these questions...maybe in time his conscience would get him to 'do the right thing'? Perhaps I am too naive and he has been given too much bribery $ to even act on it and he plans on sailing off into the sunset with his load of cash in tow...? Boy that sure would be a sad miserable existence fading into oblivion with that stigma and guilty conscience for a once great man....

Just when I think I will give up and let things take their course, no one is listening, along comes Naomi Wolf. Naomi will go down in history as a voice lighting the way out of the dark years of George W. Bush and the neocons.
Naomi Wolf wrote: So let me get this straight. The Democrats in Congress cannot even get their own members together to defend the Constitution against a supremely unpopular executive who has essentially spit in their faces, eaten their lunch and the nation's, and publicly called them out as powerless. Not to mention the fact that they are setting a precedent for the future that any executive can emasculate any Congress and defy any subpoena after having committed possibly any crime. Still they are trembling under the barstools -- summoning up, perhaps, the courage to crawl out fully prone and toss their untouched guns humbly at the feet of the posse.
Remember this: each and every member of Congress took an oath -- and the oath was not to some abstract government, it was an oath TO YOU -- to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States." Unlike many good people across the political spectrum who are appalled at this dismantling of the three-part system the founders put in place and the besmirching of the rule of law, Congressional Republicans have clearly decided to place their allegiance to the president and their party over their allegiance to the Constitution. This is bad enough; this is, in fact, treason. But the Democrats do not even have that party allegiance as an excuse for their treachery. They would be standing up for their party, the institution of Congress, and the Constitution by passing the contempt resolutions. What more will it take to get them to act?

Who would have thought the Democrats would let this go through with NO public discussion? This is scary stuff. What if Americans do wake up? What happens when Americans realize they have been misled? WILL IT BE TOO LATE TO STAND UP FOR FREEDOM? This would be an excellent question for Presidential Candidates. What do they think? Do they think it will take away our free speach? If not, why not?Who would have thought the Democrats would let this go through with NO public... more

Congress is not supposed to pick and choose what they investigate. There are rules and processes set in place to pursue justice. Our representatives should be doing their jobs. They were elected to be an equal branch of government. Maybe they need to re-read their job descriptions? Congress is not supposed to pick and choose what they investigate. There are rules... more

Russia and China have warned George W.. He's not afraid because he's not in harms way! It's our sons and daughters that are being put in harms way. If we don't stand up, so he stands down we may all be in harms way. What gives George W. his courage? His war game experience? His great leadership leading us into Iraq? Or, knowing he has not been held accountable to date and probably won't be in the future. Accountability is not quaint, it is our elected officials responsibility, they were elected to be our voices!
