By not impeaching (5.00 / 3) (#10)

the Dems have allowed the Bush presidency to set new, tyrannical precedents. Torture, CIA Black sites, politicization of the DOJ, signing statements that subvert the law, lying to get the country into an illegal, immoral war, illegal surveillance, and I could go on. While it may be inconvenient, impeachment is a necessity. If the Dems can't lead here when so much is at stake, how is 2009 going to be any different? If they can't make the necessary argument, and I've been watching them fail spectacularly with FISA, the AG, war funding, then what good are they?

Yes...its the precedent. (5.00 / 3) (#39)

It's important to set a precedent now for future administrations that such aggression against our principles will not stand, you can and will be impeached.

Yes its too late, but better late than never. Besides, whoever takes office in 09 might be scared straight if we managed to get Cheney impeached, and think twice before betraying the country during their term.
