<subject>How To Impeach The President of The United States</subject>
<event>
<lj-cut> I am not supposed to sue people. Generally speaking it is highly discouraged for Mormons to use the legal system. There are a lot of reasons for this, primarily among the which is that the church was sued a lot in its early history, and the general authorities back then had a lot of unpleasant things to say about lawyers. The other reason is that lawsuits are very....well...frankly unchristlike. Generally speaking they involve bile, darkness and bitterness. Having said that, anyone who truly understands the principle also understands the fact that there are times where it is necessary; such as a class action lawsuit against tobacco companies that are single handedly marketing their stuff to 7 year olds. I am also supposed to support the government. However there are limits. I believe in honoring the office of the United States. I had given the president the burden of doubt when he initiatally ran, and even after I determined that I didn't really LIKE his actions, I at least attempted to respect the office. Things have now moved to a point beyond that. For the good of the nation, President George W. Bush MUST be removed from office. This is not a thing I say lightly. The implications are dire, becuase it will PERMANENTLY weaken the office of the president. Indeed, the tactic that advocate using to remove him is, frankly put, kind of underhanded. Under normal circumstances, the ends do not justify the means, but sometimes the circumstances are so dire that they have to be considered. To put it bluntly, look at history. What was it that finally 'brought Clinton down'? The rethuglicans (as compared to the republicans) tried to do everything they possibly could to impeach and implicated Clinton in every possible way. They finally got him with a civil lawsuit. The precident has been set. Numerous federal rulings have indicated that the President can be sued in civil court. There are certain conditions that have to be maintained to make this work: It cannot be a suit against him for doing his job as President of the United States. A judge will toss that out, however, he can be sued for things he did PRIOR to becoming President of the United States. Why will this tactic work? Because it will force George W. Bush to testify UNDER OATH. Thus, opening the extreme likelihood that he will commit PERJURY, the very offense that they nailed Clinton with. You will note, if you carefully go back and look at each time Bush has appeared in certain venues, particularly the time he appeared before the 9/11 commission, that they met behind closed doors and refused to take a witness oath. Why was this done? Because the Bush Think Tank is all too aware of the pandora's box they opened when they went after Clinton. The path is all there, that they set up. Even if Bush didn't do anything worthy of a Sexual Harassment lawsuit before he became president, can you REALLY tell me that he hasn't done anything worth suing over? What about the investors in all of the businesses that he destroyed? 6 degrees of separation. I don't know anyone who has been personally screwed by Bush...but perhaps I know someone who knows someone. Perhaps you know someone. Perhaps that person is willing to sue over it. Maybe. </lj-cut>
