you may want to read the new book, "With Liberty and Justice for SOME" by Glenn Greenwald. I just finished it. You may very well find grounds for it.
I recommend pursuing the impeachment option. It will give you something to waste your time on for the next 5 years while you try to figure out how to field an electable candidate.
I'm not a conservative.
I'm just sick and tired of government officials and rich financial elites getting away with the crimes they commit with impunity. The mantra (as the author notes) seems to be this: "Let's look forward, not backward." Really? Try saying that if you ever get arrested and tried in a court of law for anything. The point is that a two-tiered legal system has developed in this country in the last 40-50 years. It's not just a question of who can afford a good lawyer. Wealthy and well-connected people often don't end up in court at all. And it certainly wasn't the intention of our founding fathers that America's elected and appointed officials should be above the law.
Let me make something clear. My problem with Obama at this point is:
A. His failure to support investigations into previous violations of the law by both former gov't officials and private sector bank executives who gamed the financial system by perpetrating fraud and then got away with it even as they financially benefited from the fraud while millions of Americans lost their jobs, their homes, and their retirement savings.
I share your concerns....
However I don't blame the rich...
