Impeachment

I know a lot of people are going to laugh because the only congressman saying it is Kucinich but, as Obama himself has said, "The President does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation."

Keep in mind also this is a President who chose not to investigate or prosecute the previous administration's unconstitutional abuses of power, acts of torture, unauthorized warfare, etc. but instead told us it was time to "move forward" before going on to, in fact, endorse and expand those policies.

So Kucinich, "shrill" as you may find him, raises an important question. How do we ever get to a place where we're finally checking the growth of the ever-expanding security state, if we never hold its enablers accountable?
