Today is Blog for Impeachment Day! Can I get a w00t w00t?!

Via AliceDem at Booman Tribute (by way of Feministe):

On July 14, 1789 a mob of French patriots stormed the Bastille prison. It was proof that power no longer resided in the King.

On July 14, 2007 a group of bloggers from all across America will be blogging for impeachment. We invite all patriots to join us.

Bruce Godfrey, who so graciously hosted the celebrated Take Back the Blog event, has once again offered his services as a host.

We hope by this action we can demonstrate the widespread support for impeachment and shift the debate. We also hope to educate our political elite on the dangers posed by failing to impeach.

It is critically important for the future of our democracy that this criminal cabal and all of their works be repudiated. We ask for your support and participation.

Though Bruce’s announcement primarily asks for

arguments and posts that make the case for impeachment proceedings, for a vote of impeachment or for a removal after trial of any impeachable federal office holder. However, this blogswarm will happily accept well-written anti-impeachment (or pro-impeachment, of course) posts from any member of the Maryland Bloggers Alliance as noted at the blogroll on the left sidebar, or from liberal/civil libertarian bloggers offering a principled, political or practical case for opposition to impeachment from that perspective. Academic scholarship on impeachment would be MOST welcome to contribute to the debate for all involved.

this featherhead’s legal expertise is nascent at best. If the whole of the Bush presidency doesn’t constitute impeachable offenses, I don’t know what does. (Sentencing 68,000 women to death annually because they had the temerity to have teh sex? Check. Slaughtering 974,000 Iraqis to stroke daddy’s ego? Check. Thumbing your nose at the Constitution? Check, check, and check.) And that’s really the bulk of my argument – call it the “WTF!?%$#” line of reasoning. If Clinton’s hummer was enough to get him nearly-impeached, then Bush (and Cheney and Rove and Gonzalez) ought to be strung up in the public square by their elephantitic nutsacks. Common sense and human decency, people.

Anyway, in lieu of an “academic” “legal” “argument”, I come bearing a big fat link roundup of impeach-the-fucker resources. Hope y’all will let me in on the party, even if all I have to offer is the warm shit beer.

On that note, do check in with Bruce to read the more, ahem, mature impeachment posts.

Crazy impeachment goodness after the flip. It’s like a librrrl’s wet dream down there.
