[Sosfbay-discuss] See "What distracts us from impeachment?" in The Humanist DEC/NOV 2007

[Andrea Dorey]

A remarkable article by David Swanson, the creator of  
ImpeachCheney.org, puts forth the following points:

In July 2007 the American Research Group conducted the first and only  
poll asking the American public if they favored impeaching VP  
Cheney.  Fifty-four percent said yes; forty percent said no.  A bill  
proposing three articles of impeachment against Cheney has gained  
support from only 20 members of Congress, no hearings have been held,  
and the news media haven't taken notice.

Swanson goes on to say that support for impeachment of Bush is  
slightly less but still over twice what it was for impeaching  
Clinton, even when that story dominated the news for weeks.

The article goes on to name the good reasons for impeachment and the  
necessity for ending a precedent being set for future administrations.
