In your proposal for a recall election, how do you determine whether or not the states vote to recall or not? Is it a 4 times per year vote (which is usually lost), or what starts the whole 'states vote...' process rolling?

"All it would take would be a Congress with the stones to use their powers."

Hence my proposed amendment. The Founders didn't anticipate a Congress that thought it was a lap dog. In the wake of Watergate, I thought I would never see it either.


The Indictment:

Wednesday 29 November 2006

Assistant United States Attorney: Good morning, Ladies and Gentlemen. We're here today in the case of United States v. George W. Bush et al. In addition to President Bush, the defendants are Vice President Richard B. Cheney, former National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice - who's now the Secretary of State, of course - Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, and former Secretary of State Colin Powell.

It's a one-count proposed indictment: Conspiracy to Defraud the United States in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 371. I'll explain the law that applies to the case this afternoon, but I'm going to hand out the indictment now, so you'll have some context for that explanation. Take as long as you need to read it, and then feel free to take your lunch break, but please leave your copy of the indictment with the foreperson. We'll meet back at one o'clock.
