Nader, Kucinich call Libya action "impeachable"

I know its likely to make you feel all ooogy inside...but I actually agree with you on something! It was wrong with Clinton...its wrong now. And the primary reason why Congress had no bearing to bring impeachment charges over 'torture' is that democrats were briefed on it from the get-go and agreed to it. That and the justice department deemed it not torture. Again...debateable...but...attack him, kill em all...

When I and my opponents can agree, that's when I know we're on the right track.

Soldiers swear an oath to the constitution. We are a nation ruled by laws, not men.

History shows that we don’t have the stomach for prolonged conflict unless our own people are at risk, so I suggest you stop supporting men, and start supporting the rule of law regarding presidential war making powers.

I have a son currently stationed in Iraq. Keep your suggestions. I will support the president and demonstrate to our enemies that once we are committed we are unified in our resolve to do the job, kick their ass, and bring my son home safely. You do what you feel is most appropriate.

I will continue to support the constitution, especially when the president ignores it.

Any discussion about the Constitutionality of military action must consider whether we are obligated under international treaties to take such military action. I was under the impression that a U.N. Security Council Resolution called for action in Libya. Am I wrong?

No treaty can be ratified that subordinates any part of the Constitution.

“It would appear on its face to be an impeachable offense. Now, it doesn't necessarily follow that simply because a president has committed an impeachable offense, that the process should start to impeach and remove him. That's a whole separate question. But we have to clearly understand what this Constitution is about.” — Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH)​

The usual suspects, ultra liberals and card-carrying libertarians are standing up and decrying the President's order for our military to participate in the U.N. authorized intervention in Libya, putting to the lie that liberals only oppose Republican presidents' wars and that all conservatives move in lockstep to war.

What? We don't hold our Presidents responsible for their actions anymore. There's no such thing as "impeachment", it's like leprechauns.

That's hilarious! Since when do you have a beef with ultra-Liberals? I bet you were all about impeaching Bush for lying and kids dieing.

I got give Kucinich the consistency award on this one.
