Missing Weapons Of Mass Destruction: Is Lying About The Reason For War An Impeachable Offense?

The answer is NO, not if you are the President of the United States. If you are president of the United States, you are apparently above EVERYTHING. This was an interesting article by John Dean.

President George W. Bush has got a very serious problem. Before asking Congress for a Joint Resolution authorizing the use of American military forces in Iraq, he made a number of unequivocal statements about the reason the United States needed to pursue the most radical actions any nation can undertake - acts of war against another nation. Now it is clear that many of his statements appear to be false...

Also, another interesting article by Sherry F. Colb entitled Welcoming Gay People Back Into the Fold:
The Supreme Court Overrules Bowers v. Hardwick
.

In a sense, Justice Scalia is right to be alarmed. Lawrence v. Texas is a very big deal, and his fulminating dissent thus gives it its due. Indeed, if Justice Harry A. Blackmun were alive today, he would surely delight in knowing that his equally angry Hardwick dissent has now, finally, become the law.

The new ruling calls into question the State's role as enforcer of morality and suggests that where no one is harmed, decisions must usually be left in the hands of the individual. Though the majority might not be willing to take the principle to its logical conclusion at the moment, some Court might do so in the future.

Where Justice Scalia is wrong is in his belief that following this road leads to certain disaster. It is in fact a much kinder and gentler road than that traveled by Justice Scalia. It is the road to freedom. " (Emphasis added.)
