shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors. � ARTICLE II, SECTION 4 OF THE
CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
President George W. Bush, Vice President Richard B. Cheney, Secretary of
Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld, and Attorney General John David Ashcroft have committed violations and subversions of the Constitution of the United States of America in an attempt to carry out with impunity crimes against peace and humanity and war crimes and deprivations of the civil rights of the people of
the United States and other nations, by assuming powers of an imperial
executive unaccountable to law and usurping powers of the Congress, the Judiciary and those reserved to the people of the United States, by the
following acts:
1) Seized power to wage wars of aggression in defiance of the U.S.
Constitution, the U.N. Charter and the rule of law; carried out a massive
assault on and occupation of Iraq, a country that was not threatening the
United States, resulting in the death and maiming of tens of thousands of
Iraqis, and hundreds of U.S. G.I.s.

false and deceptive rationales for war.

facilities and locations where civilian casualties were unavoidable.

disappearances, kidnappings, assassinations, summary executions, murder and torture.

7) Violations and subversions of the Charter of the United Nations and
international law, both a part of the "Supreme Law of the land" under Article VI, paragraph 2, of the Constitution, in an attempt to commit with impunity crimes against peace and humanity and war crimes in wars and threats of aggression against Afghanistan, Iraq and others and usurping powers of the United Nations and the peoples of its nations by bribery, coercion and other corrupt acts and by rejecting treaties, committing treaty violations, and frustrating compliance with treaties in order to destroy any means by which international law and institutions can prevent, affect, or adjudicate the exercise of U.S. military and economic power against the international community.
8) Acting to strip United States citizens of their constitutional and human
rights, ordering indefinite detention of citizens, without access to counsel,
without charge, and without opportunity to appear before a civil judicial
officer to challenge the detention, based solely on the discretionary
designation by the Executive of a citizen as an "enemy combatant."
9) Ordering indefinite detention of non-citizens in the United States and
elsewhere, and without charge, at the discretionary designation of the
Attorney General or the Secretary of Defense.
10) Ordering and authorizing the Attorney General to override judicial orders of release of detainees under INS jurisdiction, even where the judicial officer after full hearing determines a detainee is wrongfully held by the government.
11) Authorizing secret military tribunals and summary execution of persons who are not citizens who are designated solely at the discretion of the Executive who acts as indicting official, prosecutor and as the only avenue of appellate relief.
12) Refusing to provide public disclosure of the identities and locations of
persons who have been arrested, detained and imprisoned by the U.S. government in the United States, including in response to Congressional inquiry.
13) Use of secret arrests of persons within the United States and elsewhere and denial of the right to public trials.
14) Authorizing the monitoring of confidential attorney-client privileged
communications by the government, even in the absence of a court order and even where an incarcerated person has not been charged with a crime.
15) Ordering and authorizing the seizure of assets of persons in the United States, prior to hearing or trial, for lawful or innocent association with any entity that at the discretionary designation of the Executive has been deemed "terrorist."
16) Institutionalization of racial and religious profiling and authorization
of domestic spying by federal law enforcement on persons based on their
engagement in noncriminal religious and political activity.
17) Refusal to provide information and records necessary and appropriate for the constitutional right of legislative oversight of executive functions.
18) Rejecting treaties protective of peace and human rights and abrogation of the obligations of the United States under, and withdrawal from, international treaties and obligations without consent of the legislative branch, and including termination of the ABM treaty between the United States and Russia, and rescission of the authorizing signature from the Treaty of Rome which served as the basis for the International Criminal Court.

Nice leadership in this thread, Sinatra.

Sometimes a cancer needs more invasive treatment if its owner wants it cured. Hard to work out who owns it, but most of the cells are quite unaware.

Fight the good fight!

He didn't, but I sure do. What a sick joke that was!
Who was that woman .... Gerlach was her name, wasn't it?
She was a democrat on the panel, but she was directly
responsible for the federal agencies not sharing information
which was a partial cause of the 9/11 tragedies. She
shouldn't have been on the panel, she should have been
in the hot seat.

DUMB commission.
