The senior editor for the New Yorker, Hendrik Hertzberg, writes: "Americans have
had enough, and their disgust with the administration and its Congressional
enablers turned out to be so powerful that even the battered, rusty, sound-bit,
TV-spotted, Die-bolded old seismograph of an American midterm election was able
to register it. Thanks to the computer-aided gerrymandering that is the only
truly modern feature of our electoral machinery, the number of seats that
changed hands was not particularly high by historical standards."

Crimes

Jeremy Brecher writes: "Few elections in history have provided so clear a
mandate. As the New York Times put it, Democrats were 'largely elected on the
promise to act as a strong check on [Bush's] administration.' But the first
response of the new Congressional leadership has been to proclaim a new era of
civility and seek accommodation with the very people who need to be held
accountable for war crimes and subversion of the Constitution."

Elizabeth Holtzman | Impeaching Bush to Preserve the Constitution
http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/111406M.shtml
Former member of Congress Elizabeth Holtzman writes: "Democracy means you trust
people to make their own minds up, but this president knew that if he told the
truth, we wouldn't be in this war. The framers of the Constitution knew that
someday there was going to be a Richard Nixon who was president of the United
States and someday there was going to be a George Bush who was going to be
president of the United States, and they gave us the power of impeachment to
revoke them."
