By David Swanson

House Judiciary Chairman John Conyers could impeach Bush and Cheney in an hour if he chose. They have refused to comply with subpoenas and contempt citations, making a laughingstock of his so-called “oversight.” They have rewritten laws with “signing statements” and proceeded to violate the laws.
