Aloha-- This week we explore the United States Constitution. I went looking for hot topics in this area, and found an online campaign by Congressman Robert Wexler to impeach Vice President Dick Cheney. Here a link to his website:

Here is the House Resolution, submitted by Congressman Dennis Kucinich, giving some grounds for an impeachment of Vice President Cheney:

The first video in our second unit gives the constitutional standard for impeachment. Do you agree with Congressmen Wexler and Kucinich? Should the vice president be impeached?

Junes Jones and Government's role
Aloha--
Junes Jones and the amazing 2007 Warriors raised a lot of pride in Hawaii, some of which turned into dismay and anger when Jones left the program to become the head coach at SMU. A lot of people have been dishing out a lot of blame - sometimes, it seems, to everyone they can think of. I can see the connection with people directly associated with UH - Herman Frasier, Virginia Henshaw, David McClaine (I'm not saying that I think they're at fault - just that I see their connection to the situation as they are all in the hierarchy at UH Manoa). But I've hears some grumbling about the Legislature and the Governor too.
What do you think is the appropriate role for the Leg/Gov in relation to what is essentially an internal UH matter? Should they be blamed? Should they be involved? Should they be looked to for leadership in this situation, or would that be inappropriate, or micromanagement?
I'm interested in your thoughts on this.
