Hugh,

You are forgetting Karl Rove!

Too late perhaps for impeachment. But not too late for trials on charges of crimes against humanity or, for that matter, treason.

The list of suspects: Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Gonzales, Rice, Addington, Yoo, and on and on.

Congress knew about checks and balances in 2001-2003. And members knew about the flaws in Bush claims. Loudmouth malcontents like me were emailing, mailing and calling with annoying frequency.

Please ask the guest about executive powers that Bush put in effect, that remain on the books, and are available to ANY future president. Specifically, major parts of the Patriot Act, the entire Executive Order 51, and parts of the Defense Authorization Act of 2007. When you read them in sequence, visions of Seven Days in May pop up, except its the President in cohoots with the generals against us. Here is the link to Exec. Order 51, its all about continuity of government when the president declares a national emergency under the Patriot Act:
