Gore Doesn't Agree with Bush Impeachment
Former Vice President Al Gore says the drive to impeach President Bush is doomed to failure, and he doesn't support it. In an interview with PBS, Gore dismissed the notion that Bush will be impeached due to allegations that he misled America in the days before the invasion of Iraq. "With a year and a half to go in his term and with no consensus in the nation as a whole to support such a proposition, any realistic analysis of that as a policy option would lead one to question the allocation of time and resources," Gore said during an interview with PBS. When asked if impeaching Bush would be a good use of time, Gore replied, "I don't think it is. I don't think it would be successful."
Story Continues Below Gore also told PBS that he did everything he could in the aftermath of the disputed 2000 presidential election. "I took it all the way to a final Supreme Court decision. And in our system, there is no intermediate step between a final Supreme Court decision and violent revolution. So, at that point, having taken it as far as one could, then the question becomes, are we going to be a nation of laws and not people?" Gore replied. "Do I support the rule of law, even though I disagree with the Supreme Court's decision? I did disagree with it, and I think that those of us who disagreed with it will have the better of the argument in history," he added.
