It might even then become feasible for Congress to successfully impeach this disgraceful --and by then deservedly disgraced-- president.

 

For every inch gained in the process of discrediting this regime will move all the other components of the American body politic --the people, the press, the Republican enablers in Congress-- and these shifts would change the power equation away from the Bushite presidency.

 

But even if those developments --on Iraq, or on impeachment-- did not come to pass, the thorough discrediting of this disgraceful presidency would be no small thing. It would, indeed, accomplish that most important thing for our time: the repudiation by the American body politic of the Bushite fascism, and the defense and protection of America's constitutional democracy.

 

In their battle with the Bushite regime, therefore, the key to the Democrats' fulfilling their responsibility to America lies in completely discrediting this presidency in the eyes of the American people, so that the American people fully repudiate not only the Bushite leadership of this country but also everything this regime has represented.

 

Such a victory over the Bushites is entirely feasible. It does not require any legal powers the Democrats do not possess. It merely requires the resolute will to confront the regime, and the strategic understanding of how to conduct that confrontation to expose the dark truths about the regime: that it continually lies and breaks the law and incompetently makes a mess of things; that it is a regime that is antagonistic to the fundamental values of this nation.
