I wish Judge Porteous well. If he has committed neither treason nor bribery nor a high crime or misdemeanor, he should not retain his judgeship. But he just filed a dumb lawsuit.

A ratings chase and a revenue chase combine to coarsen the debate. This is our new reality -- and some days it looks so ugly one could reasonably turn away from civic life. But we don't.

I've been following the Republican descent into the realms of the bizarre for some time now, and I'm convinced that if they retook Congress the Republicans might try to impeach the president.

It was not and is not inevitable that we demonize each other when, quite frankly -- we are not the problem -- the terrorists are.

Though every governmental mechanism is subject to abuse, impeachment stands as a singular success of American constitutionalism.

Mr. Graham is truly a rare politician: someone who can maintain his conservative principles but still reach across the aisle to find common ground, even, at times, with liberals like me.

This appears to be the year of impeachment. So far, a State Governor (Rod Blagojavitch) and a Federal Judge (Samuel Kent) have been gotten rid of this way, and it appears there might actually be more.

Since the economy has melted, like Bush, Obama will be pelted, unless he rids us of malaise, for which he may have means and ways.

Sanford built his career on questioning other people's morals. He was on his moral high horse, all along, and now he's undermined everything.

It is a bit ironic that this august body could unanimously deal with a sex crime but not with massive war crimes against humanity.

Federal Judges get away with almost anything. Sam Kent for example, would have been convicted of rape but instead took a plea deal where he only served 33 months in jail, and he got to keep his salary.

Next week, a panel of Deep Thinkers in Washington will consider whether Judge Jay Bybee of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit should be impeached and removed from office.
Howard Schweber | Posted 05.23.2009 | Politics
I have no hesitation in asserting that Judge Bybee should be subjected to impeachment proceedings, and that Bybee, Yoo, Addington et al. should face disbarment proceedings.

Criticism of Judge Jay Bybee and calls for his impeachment continue to grow, with two leading progressives airing serious concerns about the infamous ...

Congress needs to immediately begin an impeachment proceeding against Bybee for his criminal behavior. If torture is not a high crime and misbehavior, nothing is.

For shame, America, impeach a guy over extramarital oral sex, but not waterboarding?

Today, after being impeached by the Illinois House, the Senate is hearing evidence to remove Rod Blagojevich, which it will probably do in the next few days.

I still remember the clicking of the marchers' heels as they moved into the Birmingham's business district, and, just then, the roar of a police motorcycle as it cut in front of King and Abernathy, halting the protest.

This past Sunday I ran for re-election as a Delegate to the California Democratic Party. I was on the Progressive Slate, from the 42nd Assembly District which covers parts of LA and the San Fernando Valley.

The full Illinois House impeached Gov. Rod Blagojevich after a zippy ninety minutes of debate. Pretty good -- but I think we can do even better.

The Illinois Supreme Court has just rejected what was in essence a coup attempt by the state Attorney General, which would have installed the Lt. Governor in Blagojevich's place.
