Reading these articles into the Congressional Record will help document the crimes of this administration for future generations of researchers. Future historians will find these and know what this administration is guilty of.

PW this has been and is such a huge embarrassment to our Country that it will be talked about for years to come and the fact that nothing was done about it.

Way cool. I had no idea, and I'm a political junkie. I'm surprised Rachel Maddow didn't mention it on MSNBC.

Wow - he actually addressed voting machines! At a time when Diebold is actively trying to fix the California elections by their sec. of state forcing their machines on that state.

Personally I agree, and I think a case could be made, especially for:
Widespread domestic spying which is illegal and unconstitutional.

Conspiracy to commit torture. Torture is a felony. And violates the Constitution in several places

Outing of Valerie Plame. That's a high crime, and treason. National security personnel suffered because of it.

Unlimited Executive Power. Article 22 that DK read. A Unitary Presidency is prohibitted by the Constitution.

Realist that I am, I knew when Russ Feingold and Nancy Pelosi said impeachment was off the table, that it was DOA. But it is important to get it in the record. I admire Kucinich.

I think they could get him on your other points, but they're (the Bushies) are going to make the claim that the Pres. has the ability to declassify spies, and technically, they might hide behind that point.

Although I'd love to see it happen.

Hey, SA. You are welcome!

This Article of Impeachment #29 is a bombshell! I don't really see how this action and these Articles of Impeachment can be totally ignored by the Congress.

Very damaging information, in great detail...

Now - Impeachment for an attempt to destroy Social Security? Wow. To deliberately drain the resources of the Social Security Trust Fund.

Storm Congress with emails! This is an election year.
