Raoul Berger kicked Nixon in the pants. No wonder Corporate McPravda ignored what he had to say Friday. Fortunately, David Swanson got something into the digital commons:
Congress Hears Ringing Call for ImpeachmentEXCERPT...
The second of two planned panels is even better, and includes Adams, Fein, Bugliosi, and six other witnesses. One of them, Elizabeth Holtzman, Former Representative from New York, will speak very persuasively for impeachment. Ross C. "Rocky" Anderson, Founder and President, High Roads for Human Rights, and the former Mayor of Salt Lake City, is likely to speak in support of impeachment too, while also supporting other alleged remedies. One chronicler of Bush and Cheney crimes who in recent months has opposed impeachment is John Dean; he had been scheduled to appear but did not make the final cut. However, there are four witnesses on the second panel who may not help the cause of impeachment. Frederick A. O. Schwarz, Jr., Senior Counsel, Brennan Center for Justice at NYU School of Law, is a supporter of restoring the rule of law, but whether he'll advocate restoration of the rule of the Constitution we shall see. The other three almost certainly will not. They are: Bob Barr, Former Representative from Georgia, 2008 Libertarian Nominee for President; Stephen Presser, Raoul Berger Professor of Legal History, Northwestern University School of Law; and Jeremy A. Rabkin, Professor of Law, George Mason University School of Law.

http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/69478 I'm still waiting for Corporate McPravda to mention the hearings in any but the most condescending tones. It's clear the ownwers of the Fifth Estate are worried they, too, will be brought up on charges of war crimes and treason.
Thank you for the heads-up, H20 Man! Anyone who writes "Executive Privilege: A Constitutional Myth" is must-know. Sorry I didn't see this sooner. It seems that for a long time there's been too much blah-blah on DU to see the important stuff.
