The Bush administration is still torturing people.

"Later that year, as Congress moved toward outlawing “cruel, inhuman and degrading” treatment, the Justice Department issued another secret opinion, one most lawmakers did not know existed, current and former officials said. The Justice Department document declared that none of the C.I.A. interrogation methods violated that standard."

Even after Congress specifically passed a law banning it. Which shouldn't have been necessary in the first place.

What's it called when the President breaks the law? And gives up our moral authority, and oh yeah, tortures people? I'd call that a High Crime or so. I think there's even a specific clause in the Constitution about what to do when the President does stuff like that.

Yeah, that's it. Impeach George Bush and Dick Cheney. Impeach them now.

The interns and staffers at my congresscritters offices are very good at their jobs. Even the Republican critters both had staffers who stayed polite and cheerful and sounded happy to talk to me, even when I was telling them their bosses should impeach the President for torturing people.

Man, that seems like a strange compliment to give.

On the other hand, I'm probably one of the less crank-like callers they get.
