Seems to me there's a good chance of Bush delaying impeachment until after he's gone.

[Kablooie]

He can pull "executive privilege" to withhold any evidence or block any supoenas that he wants. This will be contested, of course, which means it will have to be decided by the Supreme Court. To go through all the hoops needed before getting to the SC will take time. Particularly with Bush blocking everything he can.

And once it gets to the SC, there's no guarantee that his people up there will decide against him. Even if they do, that just puts us back to starting the investigations again. Even with the evidence it will take even more time to convice enough criminal GOP senators to go along with what's right.

All this fiddling around has to happen before any real decisions can be justified for impeachment. I expect we will be watching all this for the next two years but by then Bush will be able to "honorably" leave office . Also once he leaves office the focus will have to change to new criminal trials and the public concern over their past wrongs will be considerably less.

Bush and his minions are so horribly criminal that they may easily live a long and happy life after all this.

I just can't get my hopes up that anyone of importance will be forced to atone for these crimes in any serious way.


Crime can pay, it seems. At least in America.

1. I have seen on a website that bush can be impeached

after he leaves office. And if they have enough criminal charges he can be jailed and blacklisted. I am going back to the constitution thing and see.

2. I was wondering the same thing. Can't he be impeached after

he is out of office? It should be on his record and his legacy even if it's too late to remove him from office. He needs to go down in history as an impeached criminal president. No honorable place in history for this evil man who has done more to offend the world and this country than anyone in history!

No highways or streets named after him.
No ships or battleships named after him.
No buildings or court houses named after him.
No schools or foundations named after him.
However maybe we could name some prisons after him! :bounce:

6. Would it really be worth it?

He's already shown himself to be an ignorant hack and the worst president in the history of our Nation. What more than that does history need to judge him by?

4. "blacklisted"

No admittance into the Crawdad Country Club?

3. What about war crimes?

Isn't the International Court System at The Hague open for business? Just thinkin'.

5. Impeachment won't happen

The process lost it's true value in the 90's with the Clinton fiasco. Apart of that, I feel most Americans just want W out of office in order to forget about him.

Also, I don't see that there is any true desire from our Congress to actually start such process now or in the future.
