How Times Have Changed
How short our memories! Three articles of impeachment were approved by the House Judiciary Committee on July 27, 1974; Nixon resigned less than two weeks later. But what were those charges, and how do they relate to George W. Bush today? Among the charges were these:
-- Without lawful cause or excuse [Richard M. Nixon] “failed to produce papers and things as directed by duly authorized subpoenas by the Committee on the Judiciary of the House…and willfully disobeyed such subpoenas…thereby assuming to himself functions and judgments necessary to the exercise of the sole power of impeachment vested in the Constitution in the House of Representatives.”
-- “Endeavouring to cause prospective defendants…to expect favoured treatment and consideration in return for their silence or false testimony.”
-- “Endeavouring to misuse the Central Intelligence Agency.”

What were the proposals that were not rejected? Shouldn't we be concerned that the Vice president is holding meetings to find ways to start more wars?
