DeLay’s Prediction

A Democrat Congress in 2007 would, without doubt or remorse, raise hundreds of billions of dollars in taxes, summarily cut and run from the war on terror and immediately initiate an unconstitutional impeachment of President Bush. ~Tom DeLay Now I’m not as well versed in the finer points of the law as Mr. DeLay must […]

Now I’m not as well versed in the finer points of the law as Mr. DeLay must be these days, but how can impeachment proceedings be unconstitutional? Arguably, if the Democrats tried to impeach Mr. Bush, it would be the one example of fidelity to the Constitution they would be likely to show for the entire term. Were the impeachment proceedings DeLay helped bring about also unconstitutional? He can’t resign now, when he has this treasure trove of constitutional knowledge that he has so far kept to himself! Come back, Tom! It is a shame that mere indictments for fraud and money laundering have deprived of us such a profound legal mind at such a critical juncture in the nation’s history.
