Bill Moyer's Journal has possibly the most important discussion found on TV this century so far: a discussion of impeachment with conservative Bruce Fein and progressive John Nichols. As a constitutional law scholar, Fein helped draft the impeachment articles against Bill Clinton and has long been a fixture at right wing think tanks and media outlets. Nichols is Washington correspondent for the Nation and the author of the book "the Genius of Impeachment". Together they make the case for impeaching both Bush and Cheney for their imperial behaviors as absolutely necessary to preserve the Constitution in future terms.
I highly recommend that you watch the show, or if you're computer is video challenged, read the transcript.
If this show motivates you to action, then what? Well, True Majority makes it easy to write your Congressperson to tell them to act on impeaching Dick Cheney. Now.
OpEd News and Peoples' E-Mail Network also has a nifty utility where you can write your thoughts about impeachment in an online form. They can then be sent automatically to your nearest newspaper as well as to your own representatives in Congress.
For lurking conservatives unconvinced by Bruce Fein's arguments about upholding the Constitution, just ponder one thought: President Hillary Clinton. Do you as a conservative want her to have the same powers that Bush enjoys today?
Take action.

Richard, I think we are in complete agreement about this.
Only I'm not sure our Congress is up to confronting this administration. They just caved on the issue of giving the administration powers to spy on us. And it was your Senator Mikulski who was one of the 16 Democrats who caved. But that doesn't excuse the rest, they could have resisted bringing the administrations bill to a vote. It may take only 40 Senators to block a vote, but that works the other way too.
