Sunday at the University of Kansas George H. Bush faced a few hecklers as the former president was glorifying the decisions made by him and his son George W. Bush to take America to war.
Bush responds to one protester by saying, “What’s her problem?” and smirking as K.U. security remove students from the hall.

Rumors have been flying for years that President Bush was doing all the drinking while Dick Cheney is the one actually making all the decisions. Well, it appears George W. is keeping up his end of the deal while attending the Olympic games in Beijing.
“The field of blue goes to the left, George.”
“C’mon dad you only have six months left, keep it together.”
“OMG when these picture of dad get out I am going to be soo embarrassed.”
“Time to go Mr. President - upsydazy.”
“Ok, fellas where is the ground?”

WASHINGTON - President Bush’s top advisers are not immune from congressional subpoenas, a federal judge ruled Thursday in an unprecedented dispute between the two political branches.
House Democrats called the ruling a ringing endorsement of the principle that nobody is above the law.
In his ruling, U.S. District Judge John Bates said there’s no legal basis for Bush’s argument and that his former legal counsel, Harriet Miers, must appear before Congress. If she wants to refuse to testify, he said, she must do so in person. The committee also has sought to force testimony from White House chief of staff Joshua Bolten.
“Harriet Miers is not immune from compelled congressional process; she is legally required to testify pursuant to a duly issued congressional subpoena,” Bates wrote. He said that both Bolten and Miers must give Congress all non-privileged documents related to the firings.
The ruling is a blow to the Bush administration’s efforts to bolster the power of the executive branch at the expense of the legislative branch. Disputes over congressional subpoenas are normally resolved through political compromise, not through the court system. Had Bush prevailed, it would have dramatically weakened congressional authority in oversight investigations.
The administration can appeal the ruling.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., called it “very good news for anyone who believes in the Constitution of the United States and the separation of powers, and checks and balances.”
Democrats swiftly pledged to call Miers before the Judiciary Committee as soon as September to testify about whether the White House played any role in the firings of nine U.S. attorney’s last year.
Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers, D-Mich., said he hoped that Miers and Bolten do not appeal the ruling, but that was far from clear.
White House spokesman Tony Fratto and Justice Department spokesman Peter Carr said they were reviewing the opinion and declined immediate comment.
Nonetheless, Conyers signaled election-season hearings will be held on the controversy that scandalized the Justice Department and led to the resignation of a longtime presidential confidant, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.
“We look forward to the White House complying with this ruling and to scheduling future hearings with Ms. Miers and other witnesses who have relied on such claims,” Conyers said in a statement. “We hope that the defendants will accept this decision and expect that we will receive relevant documents and call Ms. Miers to testify in September.”
Bates, who was appointed to the bench by Bush, issued a 93-page opinion that strongly rejected the administration’s legal arguments. He noted that the executive branch could not point to a single case in which courts held that White House aides were immune from congressional subpoenas.
“That simple yet critical fact bears repeating: the asserted absolute immunity claim here is entirely unsupported by existing case law,” Bates wrote.

Today John Conyers Judiciary Committee is having a non - impeachment / impeachment hearing. Conyers had previously warned if the word impeachment or the name or office of the Presidency was invoked in conjunction with impeachment he would suspend the hearings.
However the word “impeachment” has been used some 30 times in just the first few minutes. Even Republican apologist are having to use the word - impeachment.
Did you know… In an impeachment hearing executive privilege does not apply and in fact invoking executive privilege during an impeachment hearing is an impeachable offense.
Watch these hearing live today at www.cspan.org.
UPDATE: 1:59 PM - EST
Constitutional Law attorney Bruce Fein is making a clear case for impeachment based solely on intent by the founders in creating the impeachment process. It is what the founders would be doing if they were alive.
Trent Franks (R-AZ) said “I am very dismayed at the direction these hearings are taking.” He then began to read from a script various quotes from Al- Qaeda members made soon after 9/11. Franks then conspicuously says several times that President Bush has done everything he could to protect America in a “Constitutional Way.”
Quickly followed up with “you’ll be sorry about today when we get attacked again.”
UPDATED: 2:25 PM - EST
Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) opens his statement to the committee by threating the speakers directly telling them that by charging the Bush Administration with crimes against the Constitution they are in fact lying to Congress. This type of logic seems to say only one thing - “SHUT UP!”
Legal experts in Constitutional Law believe there is a prima facie case for impeachment.
Rep. Dan Lungren (R-CA) opens his statement by mentioning how Woodrow Wilson locked up American journalists who were critical of WWI and how Franklin Roosevelt locked up Japanese Americans in WWII.
Editors Note: Is it just me or are things really bad when these two atrocities become acceptable precedents of abuse and some how justify further abuses.
UPDATE: 2:56 PM - EST
Rep Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) opens her statements to the committee by making it clear the purpose of impeachment in not about any one person or personality but the legitimacy of government. Protecting The United States Constitution is the most important aspect on an impeachment according to Representative Lee.
Editor’s Note: This impeachement is about Presidential Powers not Bush, Cheney or anyone else. It is a who serves who question - Do Americans serve the President or does the President serve the People?
The Super- Monarchical powers accumulated by the Bush White House will be given to the Obama White House like a loaded gun pointed at the head of freedom.
