Stage Two: Nader Calls for Bush-Cheney Impeachment

This is a story from ABC News' Yunji de Nies who reports about Nader's call for Bush and Cheney's Impeachment. He stood with a crowd of supporters outside the White House holding signs which read "From Katrina to Iraq, Colossal Failure," and "Resign Bush-Cheney, Like Nixon-Agnew." Obviously, Nader is fed up with Bush's strategies but the difference between Nader and other Bush complainers is that he has specific reasons why Bush should be impeached. Nader lists five offenses that both Bush and Cheney are committing: "criminal use of offense against Iraq; condoned and approved systematic torture; arresting thousands of Americans -- denying them habeas corpus and violating attorney/client privilege; signing 800 signing statements, precluding the president from actually having to follow the laws he signs; and systematic spying on Americans without judicial approval." Nader also announced that he would be running again (for the fourth time) for the presidential election.

This article is worth reading because it's interesting how people have complained about Bush's actions for so long but no action was taken to fix the problem. Instead, all that is heard is complaints and whining about the situation the US government is stuck in. This article shows Nader's strong stance against Bush and Cheney's actions. The strange part is: why now? now that Bush's term is reaching it's end. Why didn't Nader bring this up earlier when it could have mattered more?
