"To what purpose are powers limited, and to what purpose is that limitation committed to writing,
if these limits may, at any time, be passed by those intended to be restrained?"
-- Chief Justice John Marshall, Marbury v. Madison, 1803
The moonbats are restless.
It’s not just the Constitution that’s suffering because of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s nutty and unprincipled “impeachment-off-the-table” position blocking any effort to impeach President Bush or Vice President Cheney for their many crimes and abuses of power.
Her position on impeachment is killing the Democratic Party too, by driving away not just progressived members of the party, but independents who voted for Democrats last November expecting some action in defense of the Constitution.
I see this anger welling up among progressives and independents everywhere I travel, as people say they’ve simply had it with the Democrats. The support of the party for a bill continuing funding for the war through September was terrible. The Democrats’ rush to pass a bill granting Bush the authority to spy without a warrant on Americans, and to expand the power to spy domestically well beyond phones and internet to even include break-ins was a last straw.

This is why I want Cindy to win, even though she probably won’t. The implosion in Congress would be spectacular to watch.
Many promises they made. Keep none they did not.
