* '''2007-05-31''' [http://www.commondreams.org/archive/2007/05/31/1554/ Repudiation, Not Impeachment] by Scott Ritter ([[Repudiation, Not Impeachment|analysis/discussion]]): rather than solving [[Bush's elevation of presidential power]] by impeaching him, we need to solve the broader problem of widespread claims (and belief) that the Constitution allows this sort of thing.
