When I first heard that Vincent Bugliosi was coming out with a new book, The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder, I was skeptical--to be sure, Shrub's actions are impeachable ten times over. Bugliosi argues that since Bush took us into Iraq under false pretense, the deaths of every American soldier in that conflict amount to murder. He also argues that even if he isn't prosecuted at the federal level, any state attorney general or district attorney in any state (including here in North Carolina) can indict him for the murders of any soldier from their jurisdiction. However, one piece of evidence Bugliosi outlined was enough to convince me that Bush's actions were more than just malfeasance in office. They amount to criminal conduct which should be punished after he leaves office.

Update: In response to concerns expressed by others, I wish to stress that any prosecution should take place after Bush leaves office, as a president cannot and should not face criminal prosecution while in office.

Front-paged by James, because in any just world, George W. Bush would be behind bars by now.

Will the terrible tragedy of Virginia Tech become the new rallying cry for gun control? Will the second amendment now be on trial? I hope not.

Usually when I write a post for BlueNC it is long and probably a little much, but this time I would like to get right to the point.

Last week I wrote an article about Abortion. In it I very deliberately reiterated the fact that our Constitution is only good and valid in its entirety. The parts of our constitution we use to propound the many positions we take, and the rightness of them, are part and parcel of the rest of the Constitution, yes even the parts we do not like to discuss at times.
