Impeach

Wexler calls for it on the House floor.

This is grounds:

The White House has acknowledged recycling its backup computer tapes of e-mail before October 2003, raising the possibility that many electronic messages - including those pertaining to the CIA leak case - have been taped over and are gone forever.

The disclosure came minutes before midnight Tuesday under a court-ordered deadline that forced the White House to reveal information it has previously refused to provide.

Watergate tapes jigga-wha?

Gonzo Gone Gonzo

Otherwise this exchange makes no sense.


A reader transcribed this exchange concerning habeas corpus from today's Senate
Judiciary Committee hearings (no official transcript yet):


Specter: Now wait a minute, wait a minute. The Constitution says you can't take it away except in the case of invasion or rebellion. Doesn't that mean you have the right of habeas corpus?
Gonzales: I meant by that comment that the Constitution doesn't say that every individual in the United States or every citizen has or is assured the right of habeas corpus. It doesn't say that. It simply says that the right of habeas corpus shall not be suspended.


Article I, Section 9: The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it.

Alberto Gonzales should not only be impeached for his willfully obtuse
interpretations of the Constitution, he should be disbarred.


Here here. This is one thing the Bush administration cannot spin
