Impeach Judge Jay Bybee - One of the architects of the Bush Torture Plan

Impeach Judge Jay Bybee


One of the architects of the Bush administration's torture policies is a federal judge with a lifetime appointment. We need accountability.

As the Assistant Attorney General for the Office of Legal Counsel under President George W. Bush, Jay Bybee tried to bend the law to justify the administration's torture policies. Had the Bush era torture memos -- released by the Obama administration -- been disclosed when Jay Bybee was nominated by the former president for the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, he probably would not have been confirmed by the Senate.

To quote the New York Times, "Mr. Bybee is unfit for a job that requires legal judgment and a respect for the Constitution. Congress should impeach him."

Chairman Conyers:

Please enter a resolution to impeach Judge Jay Bybee of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals for his role in enabling illegal acts while heading the Office of Legal Counsel.

1. According to Cheny and prominent Reich Wing talk personalities
Torture works, we got VALUABLE information torturing suspects, beating innocent people (turned in for the 25,000.00 bounty on terrorists) to death.

hell, WE GOT BIN LADEN DIDN'T WE!??? Torture works!
That dirty rotten bastard solely responsible for the horrifying deaths of 3000 americans was brought to justice from evidence obtained through torture!

I'm Right huh, Bill-o?, Rush-bo?, Dickless Cheny? TORTURE WORKS! God Bless AMERICA!
