Impede, impeach and imprison – (if you’ve got the guts, Conyers)

[kpete]

Conyers mentioned that he’d been talking to Elizabeth Holtzman, a former colleague of his on an impeachment committee long, long ago. But, I don’t know whether to believe him on that statement. If you read Ms. Holtzman’s book The Impeachment of George W. Bush: A Handbook for Concerned Citizens I don’t see how anyone could finish that book and come away not believing "impeachment" is our only choice now.

Ms. Holtzman makes an ironclad case, and Conyers knows it. What it’s going to take for him to finally say: "enough is enough" I don’t know. Congress is stymied at every juncture. Subpoena power has been useless. Contempt citations have proven to be an exercise in futility, Bush has systematically usurped Congress’s powers one by one to the point that if they don’t begin impeachment hearings ASAP, both houses of Congress will be reduced to subservient collaborators; forever known as the Congress that let America down in her hour of need.

It's strange how at no time does Conyers' mention the retrogressive state of democracy in America. Every reason he's stated against impeachment has to do with political expediency.

Shame on you and your peers, Mr. Conyers. History will not be kind to any of you.

Let him know that only impeachment hearings...

• Will Make it on TV.
• Will force compliance with subpoenas by eliminating "executive privilege."
• Will hold brazen criminals accountable.
• Will convince voters that Democrats care about the U.S. Constitution.

1. Conyers is pure bullshit. He was hot for impeachment when he couldn't do anything about it

And now that he is THE MAN who would simply have to call a meeting to get the ball rolling he won't do a god dam thing. Lip service and a stupid fucking grin, Fuck him.

2. i believe impeachment SHOULD happen -- but i'm damn near 199% certain it won't.

they've designed it that way.

now that doesn't mean i won't call -- but it ain't gonna happen.

3. Something REALLY fishy goin on

This is soooooo unlike Conyers (if you have followed him), you cannot deny. Just like Nancy's HUGH turnaround and so many others. How are they doing it. Drugs through the vents?

4. I'd be more inclined to believe in blackmail

Most of our *reps* in Washington seem very eager to follow a *carrot on a stick*.

Or perhaps they have aided some of the impeachable offenses - and are covering their respective asses?

6. I think that there's a lot of this sort of "blackmail" going around there!

When you have both Bernie Sanders and Russ Feingold trying to deflect from impeachment by saying that there are other issues with higher priorities to work on and they don't support it, something smells!

When you have John Edwards mysteriously "suspending" his campaign, that smells!

When you have Waxman stonewalling efforts to get Sibel Edmonds to testify, something smells!

When you have so many of these Dems like Harry Reid trying to stealthily push through telecomm immunity in this FISA bill, something smells!

And that last item, I think might be the source of why something smells AND the source of what likely is being used for blackmail to enforce all the other things that smell!

Folks we need to call an "exterminator"! ASAP! Anyone out there with some heavy duty blackmail armor willing to take on the challenge?
