An Impeachable Offense

Conservative scholars Bruce Fein and Norm Ornstein have confirmed that the President's actions in bypassing the required legal channels to engage in spying activities, and his defense of it and refusal to back down, constitutes an impeachable offense.

For instance, Bruce Fein (constitutional scholar and former deputy Attorney General in the Reagan Administration) stated that "On its face, if President Bush is totally unapologetic and says I continue to maintain that as a war-time President I can do anything I want – I don’t need to consult any other branches – that is an impeachable offense. It’s more dangerous than Clinton’s lying under oath because it jeopardizes our democratic dispensation and civil liberties for the ages."
