Impeachment Standards

From Greg Sagan's "What Does This Guy Have to Do to Get Impeached" at The Smirking Chimp:

"Say what you like about Clinton's behavior in office, his impeachment trial by the Republican Congress was received by people like me as a loud message; an assertion that Republicans would not tolerate dishonesty, deception, manipulation or violation of any of our laws by the president.

We are now deluged with evidence that President Bush has violated federal law in authorizing the National Security Agency to tap the telephone and Internet communications of Americans without a warrant, that he has violated international law by launching an unprovoked invasion of another country, that he has violated the Geneva Conventions by abusing prisoners of this war, and that he manipulated Congress by offering sanitized versions of National Intelligence Estimates about Iraq's weapons programs - versions that did not contain the disclaimers and rebuttals in the original documents he received from the CIA."
