Many of you have written to ask us when we were going to call for the
impeachment of Bush as well as Cheney. Of course we have done Bush
impeachment action pages before, and were focusing on Cheney on the
premise that he was not only the least popular, but also the most
guilty. But now Bush has thrown himself in the middle of the worst of
the Cheney scandals, and so we have launched a new action page
calling for the impeachment of them both.

IMPEACH BOTH: http://www.usalone.com/impeach_both.php

If you were looking to submit something to reiterate your call for
impeachment, please submit the page above as this is a NEW joint
action.

The ink was barely dry on the order DENYING bail on appeal to
convicted White House felon Scooter Libby, before president Bush
intervened to "commute" his sentence. It is very well possible that
NEVER before in the history of American jurisprudence had anyone
sentenced to prison received such a commutation BEFORE serving a
single day of that sentence.

Cheney and Bush conspired together to give Libby an escape hatch.
This was their contingency plan all along, to game our legal system
with every frivolous defense imaginable, knowing all along they would
subvert justice in the end to whatever extent necessary. Who are the
people celebrating this gross miscarriage of justice, as they dance
on the grave of our Constitution?

IMPEACH BOTH: http://www.usalone.com/impeach_both.php

The Department of Justice's own guidelines specify that to apply for
a commutation a convict MUST first have started to serve their
sentence AND have abandoned all appeals. Scooter Libby has done
neither. Bush has again abused his office to shield Cheney and
himself from further exposure of their own impeachable offenses, as
would happen were Libby finally compelled to testify truthfully, as
was Judith Miller by her own incarceration.

This is nothing but a weasel pardon, a premeditated obstruction of
justice. Indeed, there is nothing to prevent Bush from further
granting Libby a full pardon in January of 2009, as he no doubt PLANS
on doing, UNLESS both he and Cheney are impeached first. More than
sufficient evidence of their constitutional crimes is already a
matter of public record. There is no oversight they have not
unilaterally defied. And now this, from an execution happy governor
of Texas who once MOCKED a woman who begged him only for life in
prison.

Bush asserts that the Libby prison sentence was excessive. But will
he change the law and the guidelines which fairly call for the
sentence handed down based on the severity of Libby's crimes? No he
will not. Instead with the equivalent of a signing statement he has
again selectively nullified the will of the people and their
representatives in Congress. The only thing excessive here is the way
Cheney and Bush continue to shred the Constitution.

Once again there has been no accountability. Whatever fine was left
in place will be paid from the millions and millions in Libby's
defense slush fund, or else he get some fat consultant job from a
right wing contributor who that just happens to pay him the entire
sum and more. He'll probably make a tidy profit on the whole affair.

But this is all yet more gasoline on the fire of the rapidly
expanding impeachment movement. Votes in the National Cheney
Impeachment Poll were already more than 80,000 as to Cheney standing
alone. Their administration is a walking constitutional crisis that
can no longer be avoided.

IMPEACH BOTH: http://www.usalone.com/impeach_both.php

There is one and only one remedy, that can't be vetoed, signed away
or tossed out by the courts, and that is impeachment. Congress needs
to hear from enough of us all at one time until they understand that.
Look at how quickly Congress did an about face on the immigration
bill when they were flooded with calls and emails. That is what must
happen also here.

And then they will most surely act.

Please take action NOW, so we can win all victories that are supposed
to be ours, and forward this message to everyone else you know.
