Happy Holdiays

If anyone is reading this blog, I wish you all the best for the holidays. As our nation heads into 2007, things continue to get worse in Bush's War in Iraq. Bush is going to increase the number of troops and get more Americans killed. Also, our nation will continue its massive human rights violations under Bush, including renditions, torture, and confinement without hearings.

If President Clinton could be impeached for false statements under oath about sex, what are we waiting for now? Ample grounds for impeachment exist. Many responsible Republicans supported the impeachment of President Nixon, realizing that he had violated the law by participating in a cover up of crimes. What Bush is doing is worse than what Nixon did. Let's get the impeachment machinery going.

Bush won't listen to the military

I find it frightening that President Bush is so stubborn about accepting the advice of his top military advisers. In 2003, they were telling him that more troops were needed in Iraq. He ignored them. Now the Joint Chiefs of Staff are unanimous in saying that it's too late to add more troops because Iraq has already descended into chaos. Again Bush isn't listening. He plans to add more troops despite the unanimous advice of the Chiefs. All this will accomplish is getting more American soldiers killed. Bush is an incompetent President.

Introduction

I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm a Chicago lawyer with an interest in politics. I think our current President is setting this nation on a disastrous course in Iraq and elsewhere. I understand that some people disagree although they are now in the minority. I welcome those who disagree with me to make comments although I hope they remain civil.

In addition to commenting on politics I also hope to use this blog to comment on legal issues and my concenrn with the quality of the judiciary in Illinois and the rest of the nation.
