President Bush has committed grave offenses against the Constitution

President Bush has committed grave offenses against the Constitution and
against the people of the United States. Among these offenses are:

1. Initiating a war of aggression against a nation that posed no immediate
threat to the U.S.--a war that has needlessly killed 2500 Americans and
maimed and damaged over 20,000 more, while killing between 50-100,000
innocent Iraqi men, women and children.

2. Lying and organizing a conspiracy to trick the American people and the
U.S. Congress into approving an unnecessary and illegal war.

3. Approving and encouraging, in violation of U.S. and international law,
the use of torture, kidnapping and rendering of prisoners of war captured
in Iraq and Afghanistan and in the course of the so-called War on Terror.

4. Illegally stripping the right of citizenship and the protections of the
constitution from American citizens, denying them the fundamental right to
have their cases heard in a court, to hear the charges against them, to be
judged in a public court by a jury of their peers, and to have access to a
lawyer.

5. Authorizing the spying on American citizens and their communications by
the National Security Agency and other U.S. police and intelligence
agencies, in violation of the First and Fourth Amendments and the Foreign
Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).

6. Obstructing investigation into and covering up knowledge of the
deliberate exposing of the identity of a U.S. CIA undercover operative,
and possibly conspiring in that initial outing itself.

7. Obstructing the investigation into the 9-11 attacks and lying to
investigators from the Congress and the bi-partisan 9-11
Commission--actions that come perilously close to treason.

8. Violating the due process and other constitutional rights of thousands
of citizens and legal residents by rounding them up and disappearing or
deporting them without hearings.

9. Abuse of power, undermining of the constitution and violating the
presidential oath of office by deliberately refusing to administer over
750 acts duly passed into law by the Congress--actions with if left
unchallenged would make the Congress a vestigial body, and the president a
dictator.

10. Criminal negligence in failing to provide American troops with
adequate armor before sending them into a war of choice, criminal
negligence in going to war against a weak, third-world nation without any
planning for post war occupation and reconstruction, criminal negligence
in failing to respond to a known and growing crisis in the storm-blasted
city of New Orleans, and criminal negligence in failing to act, and in
fact in actively obstructing efforts by other countries and American state
governments, to deal with the looming crisis of global warming.
