Seven Days in May

Berlusconi, Blair, Fox, and Bush all going down? In the words of John Lee Hooker, serves them right to suffer. . . . .

Thanks to my brother Jamie, here's a move to impeach the corrupt oil baron who is acting exactly like a corrupt oil baron:

HOUSE JOINT RESOLUTION

WHEREAS, Section 603 of Jefferson's Manual of the Rules of the United States House of Representatives allows federal
impeachment proceedings to be initiated by joint resolution of
a state legislature; and
WHEREAS, President Bush has publicly admitted to ordering
the National Security Agency to violate provisions of the 1978
Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, a felony, specifically
authorizing the Agency to spy on American citizens without
warrant; and
WHEREAS, Evidence suggests that President Bush authorized
violation of the Torture Convention of the Geneva Conventions,
a treaty regarded a supreme law by the United States
Constitution; and
WHEREAS, The Bush Administration has held American
citizens and citizens of other nations as prisoners of war
without charge or trial; and
WHEREAS, Evidence suggests that the Bush Administration
has manipulated intelligence for the purpose of initiating a
war against the sovereign nation of Iraq, resulting in the
deaths of large numbers of Iraqi civilians and causing the
United States to incur loss of life, diminished security and
billions of dollars in unnecessary expenses; and
WHEREAS, The Bush Administration leaked classified
national secrets to further a political agenda, exposing an
unknown number of covert U. S. intelligence agents to potential
harm and retribution while simultaneously refusing to
investigate the matter; and
WHEREAS, The Republican-controlled Congress has declined
to fully investigate these charges to date; therefore, be it

RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE
NINETY-FOURTH GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS,
THE SENATE CONCURRING HEREIN, that the General Assembly of the
State of Illinois has good cause to submit charges to the U. S.
House of Representatives under Section 603 that the President
of the United States has willfully violated his Oath of Office
to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United
States; and be it further

RESOLVED, That George W. Bush, if found guilty of the charges contained herein, should be removed from office and
disqualified to hold any other office in the United States.
