From Arianna Huffington:
It was another trying week for those of us who prefer our Democrats with vertebrae. Terrified that a terrorist attack that the GOP could pin on them might happen over the Congressional recess, Senate and House Democrats approved a White House-crafted bill expanding the president’s ability to eavesdrop without a court order. [...]

Just a few years ago, America was revered for it’s constitution. The Republicans and weak Democrats have served to prove that we were overly prideful of our heritage. If the checks and balances we have been bragging about for hundreds of years could be weakened by the greedy in just a couple of decades and [...]

What is verschaerfte Vernehmung? It translates as “aggravated interrogation”, or one could say “enhanced interrogation techniques.” Verschaerfte Vernehmung is the euphemism for torture coined by the Gestapo during World War II.
Normally, I think Nazi analogies are over the top. In this case, I have to make an exception. There are serious [...]

The best lies contain a bit of truth.
In all the years I’ve carried my “Support The Troops - Impeach Bush” sign, I only felt like I was doing the wrong thing once. I was downtown in front of the Salt Palace over three years ago, when a young man and his friend drove by yelling [...]

Rocky addressed a noontime crowd in outside his office today. He called for the impeachment of president Bush laying out the case clearly and forcefully.

A few excerpts:
We see it as our moral and patriotic duty to stand up and fight for our long held American values. Kidnapping and disappearing people [...]

Hell, for $10.00, I’ll endorse Mr. Cannon and quickly enrich Christian’s campaign fund.
But Christian must assure me that, as his first name implies, he can fix it with God so that my endorsement of Mr. Cannon does not violate the Christian injunction against oaths, giving unto Caesar the things that Caesar already owns, supporting an [...]

Each day brings another shockingly anti-American assault on the US Constitution. Today it came from our very own Congressman Chris Cannon; you know, the one who shrilled for the party to impeach Clinton; the most expensive, national embarrasment, and waste of time in modern history, Oh, and the one just named in the top five [...]

The comments the people are leaving are understandably emotional and heartfelt. I encourage you to read a few.
Dear Mr. Taylor,
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for saying to Mr. Bush exactly [...]

As Americans we must be very clear about what is taking place in the world today and challenge assumption.
Many recent discussions are available online. I recommend these:
Georgetown University
ACLU Town Hall Meeting
Harper’s Magazine Panel on Case Bush Impeachment
Or try here if that doesn’t work

I caught Senator Harry Reid of Nevada on the Ed Schultz show on the Air America radio network. He did a fine interview. I admit my bias up front that Reid is my favorite national politician. He is a left of center Democrat that doesn’t wear his Mormon religion on his sleeve like so many [...]

I’ve run out of time to do a post tonight, so I thought I would use this opportunity to remind everyone that this Saturday marks the 3rd anniversary of the war in Iraq. Events are being planned all over the country including Salt Lake City.
In addition to a peaceful rally in Washington Square there [...]

Not surprisingly, I couldn’t find anything in from a commercial news source but someone at DailyKos said
Just saw this on CNN. Looks like Snowe and Hagel caved! The compromise “Sell Out” creates a new subcommittee to oversee the NSA domestic spying. The NSA program must be approved every 45 days by the [...]
