Speaking the "I" Word

Via Atrios: Senator Barbara Boxer has asked four presidential scholars to give their opinion on former Nixon aide John Dean's statement that Dimwit Dubya committed an "impeachable offense" by admitting to authorizing the NSA to spy on American citizens without first obtaining the legally-required warrants. (Those would be similar to the warrants that FISA had apparently issued like penny candy from a well-smacked piñata in the past, but were just too much trouble for Tough-Talk McOutlaw and his posse to bother with.) This is a good first step. Senator Boxer now needs to rally support for the notion of bringing criminal charges against Preznit I Am The Law to bear among her too often lily-livered colleagues in the Senate and the House. Let's give her -- and them -- lots of encouragement, shall we?

All I want for Christmas is a whole big bunch of goddamned Republicans facing hard time in Stoney Lonesome. Frist and DeLay can wait a little longer; let's start at the top and work our way down.
