A simple proposition: The chief measure of the worth of the new Democratic Congress is whether or not it launches impeachment hearings against Bush. Due to the high crimes and misdemeanors of the Bush administration, we were deceived into a war of unprovoked aggression having nothing to do with national security, hundreds of thousands of people are dead as a consequence on a scale that, if it were anywhere else, would invite the term "genocide," the United States has become the world's torturer-in-chief, in direct violation of the Geneva Conventions and therefore U.S. law, and Bush's non-judicially reviewed domestic surveillance programs violate basic constitutional protections. Etc, etc.

Now that they have the whip hand, the Dems must pursue impeachment, regardless of political calculations. Otherwise they will quite actively be joining in these crimes, won't they?

Maybe not. What does everyone else think?
