Speech at Habeas Rally

I just got back from the ACLU Day of Action to Restore Law and Justice Rally in Washington DC. Senator Dodd gave an impassioned speech on restoring the Constitution and reversing the Military Commissions Act.

Dodd talks about leadership. Leaders LEAD.
I will not support or vote for anybody who advocates against the impeachment of Cheney, Bush, Gonzales, or any other high official who has so completely and absolutely abused the Constitution and the Public trust that impeachment is the only possible answer. There is so much evidence of illegal and unconstitutional behavior that Congress is delinquent if it does not act.
Is Dodd afraid of Cheney? The biggest bully must be taken out first. Otherwise we are not a nation of laws, but a nation ruled by thugs and megalomaniacs.
Wringing hands over the loss of basic centuries old rights or the overturning of established laws by fanatical Justices or the dismissal of treaty obligations isn't enough. If Dodd truly wants to restore our Constitutional form of government and repair America's standing in this world, he will lead on the issue of impeachment. The sooner the Augean Stable is cleaned out, and the beasts put to pasture, the sooner restoration can begin.
Government is not a gentlemen's club. It isn't a game, either.
