As soon as possible.

Recently, a new blogger asked me why I want to see the Bush presidency terminated by any lawful means.  As I pointed out at that time, none of my reasons are connected to the Iraq war.
.
He must be removed because he, his adminstration, and the Republican leadership whose agenda his office empowers him to rubber-stamp, are waging an all-out, all fronts war on the Constitution of the United States and the rights and freedoms that it guarantees.  
.
And his administration and political advisors have shown their perfect willingness to divide America to do it.  In grossly un-American fashion, these people have no qualms whatsoever about turning Americans at one another's throats -- perhaps even pushing America to the brink of civil war, if not straight into it -- to strengthen their power and achieve these goals.
.
And Bush and his administration have been waging this war not since Iraq, not since 9/11, but from the very first day he took office.
.
Why?  Because that is exactly what roughly one third of his constituency sent him there to do.  And he is keeping his faith to that one third of his constitutency, or about 13 percent of the voting-age populace.  He is not our President.  He is the President of about 13 percent of America -- and he will cater to them before anyone else.
.
The first front of this war has received almost zero publicity from the (nonexistent) "liberal media."  Only the political fire fights that it has created have been reported: the media's constant depiction of Senate Democrats as "obstructionists" to Bush's nominees to the federal courts.
.
The Bush Administration, and that one third of Republicans who sent him to Washington to destroy our Constitutional freedoms, want to see him appoint judges like Antonin Scalia and Robert Bork to the federal courts.  They want Bush to use these men as role models because their contempt for our Constitutional rights is total:  Depending on the context and on the person, the views they want sent to the federal bench range from recognizing almost no Constitutional rights, to recognizing no Constitutional rights at all.
.
And Bush has done his treasonous best to fulfill this mission, appointing corrupt, Constitutionally blind judges who will look the other way when the most basic of human rights are being stomped on.  And when Senate Democrats succeeded in blocking his most dangerous nominees, he has tried every trick in the book to appoint them anyway, whether through recess appointments or by just renominating and renominating the same candidates.  This is deliberate.
.
Antonin Scalia has written, in the legally significant body of Supreme Court rulings, that:
.
*  The federal courts should have no power at all to overturn unconstitutional laws (Chicago v. Morales, 1999)
*  The First Amendment does not apply if a lawmaking body feels that something is "immoral" (Erie v. Pap's A.M., 2000)
*  The Constitution does not apply if a community deems something immoral (Lawrence v. Texas, 2003)
*  Violating Constitutional rights is perfectly acceptable if it has been traditionally done in the past (i.e. "we have always done it this way")  (Lawrence, and others)
*  Literally nullified any meaningful protection in the "free exercise of religion" clause in the First Amendment (Oregon Employment Division v. Smith, 1990) -- a ruling that led to passage of the 1993 Religious Freedom Restoration Act -- which was itself struck down mainly by the right wing of the Supreme Court.
.
Robert Bork and/or others in the far right judicial mold, have opined that:
.
*  State governments should be free of ignore the Bill of Rights
*  Local majorities should enjoy virtually unlimited lawmaking power, regardless of one's human rights
*  The definition of "freedom" itself is not freedom to choose your life and pursue happiness, but the "freedom" of elected governments to exert power over others.
.
The second front in this war on the Constitution is to cripple the courts' ability to protect our Constitutional rights.
.
Far right groups have directly advocated stripping the federal courts of their power to uphold the Bill of Rights against state and local governments.  The Conservative Caucus, whose views are well represented among Bush's advisors and in the GOP leadership, asks in a candidate questionnaire:
.
"20. As a member of Congress, would you vote to terminate the jurisdiction of the Federal judiciary with respect to appeals relating to alleged violations of the Bill of Rights by state and local government? "
.
You can't get any plainer than that.
.
Toward this end, the far right wing in Congress has worked diligently.  In the infuriatingly falsely titled "Constitution Restoration Act," the right wing of Congress attempted to strip the courts of any power to hear cases that would impinge upon the "Federal, State, or local government, or against an officer or agent of Federal, State, or local government (whether or not acting in official or personal capacity), concerning that entity's, officer's, or agent's acknowledgment of God as the sovereign source of law, liberty, or government."
.
You can't get any plainer than that.  They tried to strip the courts of their power to prevent an illegal theocracy in the United States.  This is a direct attempt to remove our access to the redress of grievances, a right guaranteed by the First Amendment.
.
And on September 19, 2006, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 2679 which, according to the Washington Post, provides that "attorneys who successfully challenge government actions as violating the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment shall not be entitled to recover attorneys fees. The bill has only one purpose: to prevent suits challenging unconstitutional government actions advancing religion."
.
All Americans, not just liberals or libertarians, should be rioting in the streets about this!  And when liberals spend 95 percent of their effort fretting about the Iraq war, or oil, or the Florida and Ohio vote counts of 2000, they are missing the single gigantic issue that could drive this administration out of power overnight!  Wake up and smell the burning flesh of witches, liberals!!!
.
This war on our Constitution is no accident.  Our "Republican" leaders, including our President, who have sworn to uphold our Constitution, are instead mounting a sustained, unrelenting campaign to destroy that same document.  By anyone's definition, this is treason -- not just by the current administration, but by the bigger part of an entire political party's leadership.
.
This is an impeachable offense.
