EH - 64 : Politics: Texas Style

Committed to nonviolence, determined, in this post-Gandhi era, against violence, nevertheless we are once again in the position of the Framers of the Constitution. In the post-revolutionary emergency, the Founding Fathers took things in their own hands, violating their clear instructions from the states by proposing to create the United States, which the states then created. In the crisis we are in now we must not be misled by expostulating lawyers or posturing politicians.

Ronnie Dugger talks about Texas political dysfunctionality and calls for impeachment. Can we impeach an entire government, lock, stock and barrel? The law is what is is, do we live by rule of men or by rule of law? Who's law?
