Bill Moyers Interview on Impeachment

Thanks to reader Michael, here is a great half-hour show on PBS with Bill Moyers interviewing John Nichols and Bruce Fein, writer of the first article of impeachment against President Bill Clinton.

Here’s a quick excerpt from near the end.

Moyers: You are saying you want the judiciary committee to call formal hearings on the impeachment of George Bush and Dick Cheyney?

Fein: Yes!  Because there are political crimes which have been perpetrated in combination.  It hasn’t been one or the other being in isolation.  And the hearings have to be not into “this is a republican or democrat” thing, this is something that needs to set a precedent whoever occupies the White House in 2009.  We do not want to have that occupant, whether it’s John McCain or Hillary Clinton or Rudy Giuliani or John Edwards, to have this authority to go outside the law and say, “I am the law.  I do what I want.  No one else’s view matters.”

This is simply a great discussion which reveals much about what is being done by our current administration in direct violation of the constitution.  Please check this out when you have a moment.
