| Cindy Sheehan: Impeach Pelosi for collaboration!!!!! | |
| 2007-12-17 | |
| Peace activist, Cindy Sheehan says that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi collaborated with the Bush administration in condoning torture because Pelosi knew about water boarding torture since 2002. “Even before becoming Speaker of the House of Representative, she said that impeachment of Bush is out of question.” She should be impeached for knowing about torture which dehumanize us all, she added. Washington Post reported last week that in September 2002, four members of Congress met in secret for a first look at a unique CIA program designed to wring vital information from reticent terrorism suspects in U.S. custody. For more than an hour, the bipartisan group, which included current House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Democrat Rep. Jane Harman, was given a virtual tour of the CIA's overseas detention sites and the harsh techniques interrogators had devised to try to make their prisoners talk. . . . Technically speaking, you don't impeach House members, the House expels them. Works for me.

| #21 Actually, Representatives may be recalled, or they can fail an upcoming election. Impeachment is only for high government officials: the President and Vice President, and judges. Judges, including Supreme Court judges, ".. may hold their offices during good behavior..." (Article 3, Section 1, US Constitution). It's been a hundred years since any judge was removed for improper behavior. We need to go back to removing judges, especially ANY judge that uses foreign law in a US courtroom (yes, I meen you, Ruth Badder Ginsburg!). |

| #20 This is the very first, (And only) GOOD thing I've ever herd from Sheehan. |

| #19 The old pro Donks haven't learned the hard lesson yet. Even Hitler turned on the SA Brownshirts and Mao turned on his Redguard to retain control. Yeah, they were useful for a while, but little things like this demonstrate there comes a time to 'purge' the party or lose control. Pass the popcorn. |

| #15 It's not good to let obviously mentally ill people have so much press attention. |

| #14 So this has what it's come to, Cindy. OpEdNews. Remember the old days? Putting the Times on hold because NBC wanted an interview and you had to to try to squeeze them in between Newsweek and CNN? Good times...good times... |

| #11 There's a technical term for the Sheehan-pelosi conflict: "fratricide." We should encourage it. |

| #6 Leave 'em both in place. They're a detriment to their wing of the party, which can only be a good thing because it has way more than its share of nuts. |

| #5 Also, you cannot impeach a sitting House member : there is a different set of procedures for such a removal, and it is NOT impeachment. Plus, you need that nasty old criminal charge that you can PROVE for an impeachment. The House can censure and expel a member according to the rules - it just never happens. Look at how few House members have ever been expelled. |

| #3 What really gets me is that these morons think that impeachment is like a recall election or something. Like you can impeach someone just because you don't agree with their policy. Impeachment is a criminal proceeding, the party being impeached must have committed a crime. These left-wing airheads need to learn how government works. |
