I'm out the door before dawn in California tomorrow, fellow blogmates, so here's a late-night impeachment update for our August files.

Outspoken Constitutional attorney Bruce Fein opined today that if Pelosi persists

in her imperious, mean-spirited, and myopic thinking in disregard of her oath to support and defend the Constitution, members of the House should replace her with Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md.

Fein notes that most Americans instinctively feel the president is an untrustworthy steward of the Constitution's checks and balances because, among other things,

he flouts laws, prohibits White House aides from testifying before Congress, consistently defends an attorney general who is an inveterate liar, and detains citizens and noncitizens indefinitely as enemy combatants on his say-so alone.

The latest chatter is devastating, however. According to Fein,

Speaker Pelosi has at least figuratively joined hands with the White House in opposition. Emulating the Queen of Hearts in Alice in Wonderland, she has threatened the removal of Michigan Rep. John Conyers from his chairmanship of the House judiciary committee if an impeachment inquiry were even opened, according to reliable congressional chatter. [emphasis mine]

As I see it, this report underscores the vital importance of our September 17th Constitution Day Redress campaign.  It's less than a month away, and I look forward to your check-ins and thinks as I pull together a blog to serve as an "Education Center" for us to share key information with folks in our various spheres of influence. See you soon. 

Best Constitutional wishes,
