Recently, I finished reading the book “Bill of Wrongs,” authored by the team of Molly Ivins and Lou Dubose. Anyone familiar with Ivins’ writing would know the book attacks the policies of President George W. Bush. Unfortunately, Ivins died about a year ago, but before cancer took her life, she got off this final indictment of the man who occupies the White House.
The authors have compiled a mountain of evidence to demonstrate unequivocally that Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney have not only trivialized the Bill of Rights, they have trampled all over those sacred first 10 amendments, especially the first one. Ivins and Dubose have produced ample evidence to convict Bush and Cheney on bills of impeachment. Freedom of speech? Freedom to assemble? Freedom to protest? Privacy? You name it, and they have buried it under their absolute arrogance of power.
The evidence is there, Ivins and Dubose have documented it, chapter and verse. It is irrefutable and would secure an impeachment conviction in any courtroom. The irony of this is that Bill Clinton, as a result of an admitted indiscretion and lying to a grand jury about a personal matter, was subjected to impeachment proceedings. That is in absolute contrast with Bush, who has trashed the Constitution time and time again.
Where’s a special investigator when we really need one?
Reading the book made my blood boil, and I saw George Bush and Dick Cheney for what they really are – constitutionally un-American.
