Goodbye Bush! We're glad to see you go!

There were about fifteen of us, including Betty, at the NH Democratic Party headquarters in Concord, NH on Tuesday evening to speak to Betty Hall's Resolution on Impeachment before the three Democratic Party Resolutions Committee members, Alexander Lee, Melanie Leveque and Jane Clemons. We had come, seemingly unexpected, on last-minute notice that this was occurring and we were crowded into a very small, hot and uninspired room, crammed for our benefit with as many ugly-looking, much-used chairs as could fit in front of the rickety table set up for the committee members and around the two huge columns that were spaced in the middle of the room equidistant from all four walls. Most of us had only partial views of the committee. Many of us were sitting on tables or standing overflowing out the door and into the hallway.

Regarding whether President Bush and officials in his Administration committed any crimes, Senator Barack Obama told Will Bunch of the Philadelphia Daily News that he would have his new “Attorney General immediately review the information that’s already there” and if that information showed that “crimes have been committed, they should be investigated” because nobody is “above the law.” Bunch in his article stated that many Americans wondered whether an Obama Administration would seek to prosecute Bush officials for crimes that they may have committed. Senator Obama stated that at the present time “I can’t prejudge [whether Bush officials committed any crimes] because we don’t have access to all the material right now.” The other presidential candidates would probably say the same thing.

Yesterday was the deadline for submission of resolutions for consideration at the May 23-25th State Convention . Most of the resolutions  are those which were adopted by the county conventions held this past weekend.

The pre-convention workshop that we helped to coordinate was last Saturday, which was also my birthday. After the workshop, I went off to do things of a more recreational nature and was pretty busy for the remainder of the weekend.

There is a widespread myth that an impeachment cannot happen in the space of the nine months Bush and Cheney are scheduled to remain in office. But I'm unable to find any past impeachment that took as long as nine months. It's messy comparing one impeachment to another, as they are complicated and varying processes. But a few things are clear: most impeachment efforts achieve important results quickly, without actually achieving impeachment (think Elliot Spitzer or Alberto Gonzales); it is not uncommon for impeachment efforts to begin later in an administration than where we are now (think Andrew Johnson, Herbert Hoover, Harry Truman); while preliminary investigations of the sort that have been done on Bush and Cheney for the past year and a half can be dragged out for months, impeachments tend not to last long; and while Senate trials can be delayed and dragged out for many months, impeachments in the House tend to be short-lived events.
