The Bybee Question
If you are interested in impeaching Judge Bybee, you might be interested in this video of a forum held by the Alliance for Justice at the National Press Club yesterday. The three participants are lawyers; all are academics.
The introduction explains that there are on-going investigations in the DoJ on various aspects of the torture issue and there are likely to be full investigations in the future. They discuss impeachment, actions that might be taken by the DC Bar Association, as well as criminal prosecutions. The video lasts over an hour and covers the entire discussion, including questions.
The moderator begins the discussion with the question Why now? We've known about these issues for years. Why are we just now talking about doing something?
A link to a 1.5 hour download isn't much of an article.

I'm tired of it all,too, and posted this for anyone who might be interested, not for discussion.

I think the answer to the question WHY this issue is at the forefront of the judicial is that we have had sweeping change in Washington in the last several months and a new attorney general with the fortitude to question the previous admin's behavior.

We hope that's what's happening, right?
