This is the best day off my life.
I feel like the weight of the world is off my shoulders. And now I can relax and watch justice get done.

So it is written IN THE CONSTITUTION. . .

I say do the investigations, issue the subpoenas, convene the grand juries. There's plenty of dirt to dig over the next couple of years. Besides, if we do the investigations, who knows how far up the ladder we will go.

I got interested in politics because I wanted to get George Bush out of office. Even more than that, though I want to see his legacy be one of failure, his name to go down in history with Benedict Arnold and John Wilkes Booth. I want him to be invoked as an example of what not to do. I want him to be what parents scare their children with to get them to drink their milk.

Actually, I want him in the dock at the Hague. But if his example keeps anything that looks like neoconservatism from ever happening again, I suspect I can live with that.

I for one welcome our new Twitter overlords. @Omir55

As much of the evidence as possible needs to come out into the sunshine, be examined and made public. Granted, there will always be some who won't believe it (there are still people who are convinced the Apollo moon landings were filmed in Hollywood, after all...).

But looking long-term, we need to heal some of the partisan rift that's been dividing this country -- and we can only do that by being as fair, thorough and public with the investigation as possible. It would be better for the country in the long run to make sure every dirty deal and lie was revealed -- and believed -- then for Bush or any of that lot to actually be impeached or face charges.

Look at the things that came out of the Watergate hearings... FOIA, the Government in the Sunshine Act, etc. -- the real victory here will be to restore the checks and balances in government and the rights and principles in the Constitution... and the trust and faith of the American people and the rest of the world.

First, investigate and determine the truth, and present it to the public. Second, assist those who are suffering or in need -- find solutions, restore balance, help people, solve the problems or at least start on solving what we can. Then hold those responsible for this fiasco accountable. But justice has to start with truth.
