Divisiveness in the pursuit of upholding the law is no vice

It is astounding that there is a actually a debate in this country about whether the law should be enforced or not, and not just the law, but the very Constitution itself. There should be an immediate impreachment investigation of the Bush administration immediately after the Democrats take over in the Congress in January, 2007. If the president and vice president are guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors they should be investigated and prosecuted. Forget the fact that when the Republicans took over Congress in 1994 their primary agenda was to launch a political persecution of Bill Clinton, and they did little else for the next 6 years. This is not about vindictiveness, though that was their motivation at that time. Forget the fact that there was an impeachment investigation of the last president and that the other side used it for the purpose of divisiveness. The Constitution does not place a limit on how soon after an impeachment investigation there can be another. Indeed, every president from now on must weigh the possibility of impeachment as a real possibility to constrain the kind of gross abuses of power we have seen since the George Bush took office.
