More from Moyers

Two more points from Bill Moyers Journal on Friday (not online yet--no mention of it even at the PBS site that I can find): One concerning Congress, one the media.

Bruce Fein made the point that Congress lacks a single person with in depth knowledge and commitment regarding the Constitution, a person who understands and can argue the constitutional necessity of impeaching Bush and Cheney. This is an amazing charge. There has always been at least one, and often lots more than one, member of the House and/or Senate who was a Constitutional scholar. That all 535 aren't is bad enough. That there isn't one would be a sure sign that this particular experiment in self-government is about over.

Both Fein and John Nichols, but particularly Nichols, made the less unusual point that the media has failed abysmally not only in reporting on Iraq and so on, but in raising the relevant Constitutional issues. Why isn't somebody asking at those White House press conferences, doesn't this (name your violation here) violate the Constitution?
