  I am not a Bush hater. I don't think he has the mental capacity to hold his office and to manage it effectively. I think his long string of abject failures demonstrates this. On the surface, he seems to be a pretty nice guy, but his lack of grasp of the world around him made him the perfect tool for a unitary executive proponent like Cheney to set Bush up as a front man then begin to set right all the things that Cheney believes went wrong during the Nixon Administration.

  Dick Cheney's political career began in 1969, as an intern during the Nixon administration. The intern Cheney then joined the staff of Donald Rumsfeld, who was then Director of the Office of Economic Opportunity from 1969-70. He held a number of positions in the years that followed: White House staff assistant in 1971, assistant director of the Cost of Living Council from 1971-73.

  He felt that Nixon just didn't go far enough in grabbing power and destroying enemies.

  I'm deeply concerned that it Cheney and Bush's power grab is allowed to stand, if they are not impeached, the damage they have done to America's reputation will be cemented. The rest of the world will assume Americans agree with torture, extraordinary rendition and all the abuses of power this Administration is infamous for. I'm concerned the precedent will be set for incoming presidents to build on this legacy and grab even more power. We will be sliding toward the end of any pretense of being a democratic republic or having something called Constitutional law.

  That last paragraph says it all.

  "The Bush administration has so badly subverted American norms of justice in handling these cases that they would not stand up to scrutiny in a real court of law. It is a clear case of justice denied."

  But the question is how where they able to get a away with it?
