Ray McGovern's first-person account of the meeting on impeachment yesterday with John Conyers

there have been at least several diaries on daily kos that berated cindy sheehan, rev. lennox yearwood and ray mcgovern for their tactics in meeting with john conyers yesterday on the critical subject of impeachment (here, here and here)... i cannot speak to the wisdom of their approach or lack of it but i do know that they are seriously trying to force the issue of the most serious crisis in our nation's history, and that, in itself, is a good thing... however, reading ray mcgovern's report, i just want to sit down and cry...

go read it all, but, to me, the most important point mcgovern makes is this...

[T]he real challenge is to look AHEAD. What are Bush/Cheney likely to do in the coming months if the impeachment process does NOT begin?

One often hears, Oh, they will do what they want anyway, impeachment process or not. Not true.

If we the people and our representatives in Congress choose the course given us by our Founders and impeachment proceedings begin, important swaths of our body politic AND military will be less likely to follow illegal orders from the White House.

yes, it's WHAT'S TO COME that scares the wee out of me... if you only consider what's taken place in the past few weeks, and then pile that on top of the previous 6 1/2 years, we simply cannot afford to wait any longer to remove those bastards...
