Impeachment, Will We Have Accountability Or Do The Laws No Longer Apply?

Watch the Judiciary Committee (non-impeachment hearing) hearing on impeaching Bush on C-SPAN, because you aren't going to see a mention of this in the news. Go here to watch it online, it is good stuff.

Update (12:40 PM ET): Right now there is a crazy law professor named Jeremy Rabkin ranting about how Bush's impeachable offensives shouldn't lead to impeachment, not because they weren't illegal or didn't break the Constitution, but because other presidents have broken the law in the past during war time. Yes, because we locked up Japanese Americans during WWII, which is now nearly unanimously seen as extremely anti-democratic, and unconstitutional, Bush and any other president can do whatever they want as long as they do it during "wartime" (like the never-ending, never-defined, omnipresent "war on terror"). The guy is a complete nut, and you could tell he was a nut, because he reacted to the sane witnesses as if they were crazy. It was something to behold.

Update #2: It is over now. It is easy to sum up. The Democrats and most of the witnesses pointed out obvious facts about how Bush has broken the law and committed innumerable impeachable offenses. They spoke of the Constitutions and the consequences of failing to hold the Executive (Bush or any other president who acts with impunity) accountable. The Republicans, the same people who went on a witch hunt against Bill Clinton, wrung their hands and spun around and around trying to excuse Bush's lawbreaking. Oh, and usual with the Republicans in Congress, they acted like children, especially Rep. Steve King of Iowa, who always acts like a goddamn juvenile delinquent. They put on a pathetic spectacle.

And do you think the media will say a word about the six-or-so-hour hearing on impeachment? Hell no. Do you think they'll have an honest discussion, or any discussion, of impeachment, about the pros, the cons, the issues, the implications of inaction? Hell no. That's our media for you--shallow, pathetic, dumbed down, useless. Thanks.
