TWO CLEAR REASONS IMPEACHMENT SHOULD BE A BIG STORY



Polls recently revealed that roughly half the American people favor the impeachment of Bush and Cheney. There have never been opinion polls like these: half the country, and this is without the impeachment process having even begun.



Even if there were nothing but unprecedented opinion polls like these, that would be a big story. So, mainstream media, why aren't you telling it?



But of course there's more --much more!-- than the opinion polls.





The Founders gave you, the press, freedom so that you could speak truth to power, so that you could aid a free people in protecting their freedom. They made the press free, that is, for the very same reason that they gave the Congress the power to impeach a president: as a bulwark against tyranny.



The Constitution is a legal structure, but it is also a kind of imprint from which one can read the main danger from which they were trying to protect us, their heirs. And this Bushite regime and its lawlessness is precisely what concerned them.



This moment, in other words, is the test for which the Founders tried to prepare us.
