...March 25, Nebraska Senator Chuck Hagel lent a G.O.P. voice to an idea that is more often echoed in the tinnier chat rooms of the left-wing blogosphere: impeach President George W. Bush. Those who were surprised shouldn't have been. Hagel has been slowly knitting together the oddest platform of any potential presidential nominee: he's pro-life, pro-gun, antiwar and now, quite definitively, anti-Bush...
...Attorney General Menachem Mazuz plans to conduct a hearing in the next few days before deciding on whether to proceed with the indictment.

...Eugene Volokh, a UCLA constitutional law professor and popular legal blogger, dismisses Berkeley's move as a "man bites dog story." Berkeley's new ballot measure and the grassroots movement to impeach Bush is just a way for the far left to express its "visceral anger," he says; unlike previous calls for presidential impeachment, which involved "clear criminal violations," the call by Berkeley and other cities to impeach Bush is about opposition to "judgment calls dealing about very, very serious national security problems." But as a veteran of the sharply divided blogosphere, Volokh should know better than most that criminality...
