This failure has removed the sovereignty of we the people, and made Congress much more powerful than it should be. populist Tue, 02 Jan 2007 20:58:57 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/clarification_of_the_uses_of_impeachment We have seen a great deal of nitpicking as to what constitutes a high crime and misdemeanor, but it is obvious from the context that one of the greatest high crimes and misdemeanors is a breach of public trust. populist Sun, 26 Nov 2006 17:31:05 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/from_the_slippery_slope_into_the_abyss It is with great sadness that I must report the death of the once great USA. It was a country ruled by law and by a Constitution and Bill of Rights that was a model and inspiration for many lands and emerging nations. Its death knell has been sounded by HR 6166, passed in Congress, hurriedly voted on before they adjourn to go campaigning. populist Sun, 01 Oct 2006 18:47:24 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/impeachment_is_not_about_getting_revenge Nothing could have denigrated the office of the President more than letting a liar; thief and crook walk away from his crimes, unpunished. populist Mon, 20 Nov 2006 23:03:11 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/populist__25 The Constitution reigns supreme.

It is the legal document that lays out the rules by which a contest for freedom between people and their government in America should be played out. populist Sat, 06 Jan 2007 23:57:11 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/somebody_got_to_the_zebra Robertson's Habeas Corpus ruling is not just unConstitutional -- it is anti-Constitutional.

The claim is made often by U.S. officials and is echoed far and wide across the land by television commentators, newspaper columnists, public-school teachers, and many others. populist Mon, 02 Oct 2006 22:53:30 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/to_whom_does_the_bill_of_rights_apply Dec 15th is Bill of Rights day! The important point to remember is that the Constitution doesn't apply to Americans, it doesn't apply to citizens, it doesn't even apply to "people." It applies to the federal government. The Bill of Rights tells the federal government what it is not allowed to do... populist Fri, 15 Dec 2006 22:21:03 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/omissions_in_the_iraq_study_group_report_part_ii By attacking Iraq without provocation and with no Security Council authorization for it prior to March, 2003, the US violated the UN charter that it's a signatory to.
