When House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi was interviewed on 60 Minutes on Sunday, asked about the possibility of impeaching Bush if the Democrats took control, she responded that she thought it would be 'a waste of time' (video). Yet, a new Newsweek poll shows that 51% of Americans surveyed believe Bush should be impeached.
If the Democrats win, Rep John Conyers is in line to head the Judiciary committee and he has been compiling evidence against Bush for a very long time with the aim of impeaching this president. If Bush has indeed committed impeachable offenses, it is the congress' duty to initiate proceedings against him, whether Pelosi personally endorses it or not and now she is also placing herself squarely against what the majority of Americans believe is necessary to deal with the many wrongs this president has perpetrated in their names.
