Calls Increase for Bybee’s Impeachment
--------------------------------------



This comes as calls are increasing for Bybee’s impeachment as a federal
judge. During an interview on Fox News Sunday, Democratic Senator Claire
Mc Caskill of Missouri questioned whether Bybee should be serving on the
federal bench after approving the use of torture.

Sen. Claire Mc Caskill (D-MO): “What’s scary to me, Chris, is one of
them got a lifetime appointment on the federal bench. Yikes! You know, a
lawyer that’s responsible for this kind of advice that clearly went too
far in terms of stretching what our law is, it worries me that he’s
sitting on the federal bench right now.”
