Bush Administration Must Be Held Accountable for Misconduct (Rep. Hank Johnson)

July 25th, 2008

What I detect is a growing groundswell of support for holding this administration accountable for its misdeeds across the board - not just in misleading this country to war in Iraq, but also in the fear that this administration secretly is planning to invade or attack Iran.

And to look at all of the other incidences of administration misconduct with respect to the separation of powers, with respect to false executive claims of executive privilege, cover-ups, secrecy, surveillance of Americans, detention and torture of foreign citizens, use of presidential signing statements - there’s so many areas of fertile ground that seem to cause this groundswell.

The American people are starting to understand that that this is bigger than just personalities. This is for the protection of the basic foundation that our country is based on and that is adherence to our Constitution.
