OK, I'm all for it. What are the charges? Remember, these have to be
legitimate charges, instances where he broke US law.


Wikipedia has a nice list of potential charges:

s_for_impeachment

The ones that potentially involve explicit violations of US law:

1) Warrantless surveillance (violates FISA).
2) Violations of the UN Charter (remember, treaties are US law).
3) Violations of the Geneva Convention (ditto).
4) Commuting Libby's sentence (if done to prevent Libby from turning
state's evidence, it represents obstruction of justice).
5) Politicization of the United States attorney offices, in a scheme
possibly involving voter suppression and a subsequent coverup.
6) Signing statements (the executive is not allowed to rewrite laws).

As of this week, you'll almost certainly be able to add to that
willfully ignoring subpoenas lawfully issued by the US Congress.

If the political will was there to impeach, any of the above could serve
as a constitutionally valid justification. Remember, impeachment doesn't
function according to a "reasonable doubt" standard; it functions
according to whatever standard Congress wants.

Then why aren't the Democrats instituting impeachment proceedings? Could it
be that they feel that having Chaney as Pres would be out of the frying pan
and into the fire?



You gotta consider, even after America kicked the NeoCONS to the curb
this last election,
the Dems don't have the backbone to really do anything. They live in
constant fear of the Rove
Smear Machine. Constantly walking on eggshells and looking over their
shoulders.
Even real Republicans are guilty of this fear also..

I want someone to stand up and say when something is ignorant or
dangerous for us,
not be cowering from Rove and his minions. Republican OR Democrat.
Don't see that happening anytime soon though........ sadly.
