    Article 9.
    FAILING TO PROVIDE TROOPS WITH BODY ARMOR AND VEHICLE ARMOR
    In his conduct while President of the United States, George W. Bush, in violation of his constitutional
    oath to faithfully execute the office of President of the United States and, to the best of his ability,
    preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States, and in violation of his constitutional duty under Article II, Section 3 of the Constitution “to take care that the laws be faithfully executed”, has both personally and acting through his agents and subordinates, together with the Vice President, has been responsible for the deaths of members of the U.S. military and serious injury and trauma to other soldiers, by failing to provide available body armor and vehicle armor.

    While engaging in an invasion and occupation of choice, not fought in self-defense, and not launched
    in accordance with any timetable other than the President’s choosing, President Bush sent U.S. troops
    into danger without providing them with armor. This shortcoming has been known for years, during
    which time, the President has chosen to allow soldiers and Marines to continue to face unnecessary risk to life and limb rather then providing them with armor.

    In all of these actions and decisions, President George W. Bush has acted in a manner contrary to his
    trust as President and Commander in Chief, and subversive of constitutional government, to the
    prejudice of the cause of law and justice and to the manifest injury of the people of the United States.
    Wherefore, President George W. Bush, by such conduct, is guilty of an impeachable offense warranting
    removal from office.

    Funtastic series Frank! I’m afraid my keyboard got a bit of a dusting with flour as I devoured your posts while taking short breaks from baking. :( Big bake sale here this weekend! :)

    To cobble means to hastily put together, and this batter-style cobbler couldn’t be quicker to whip up. The best part is that the combined flavors of its buttery topping and fresh summer fruit are so rich and satisfying, no one will ever guess what a cinch it was to prepare.
    RECIPE INGREDIENTS:
    1/3 cup unsalted butter
    3 cups sliced impeaches (about 4 large - or you may substitute 2 large cans of sliced impeaches, drained - take special care that there are no tiny remains of pits!)
    1 cup raspberries
    1 cup sugar
    1 cup flour
    2 teaspoons baking powder
    Pinch of salt
    1 cup milk
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    Whipped cream or ice cream, for topping
    1. Heat the oven to 350°F. Measure the butter into a 2 1/2 -quart casserole dish (ours measured 11 by 8 inches by 2 1/2 inches deep) or a cast-iron skillet (11 inches in diameter and 3 inches deep).

    2. Place the pan in the oven to melt the butter. Combine the impeaches and raspberries in a medium bowl and sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the sugar over them. Gently stir the fruit, then set it aside.

    3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the remaining sugar, the milk, and the vanilla extract and stir until the mixture is evenly blended.

    4. When the butter has melted, pour it into the batter, stir quickly but gently to mix it in, then immediately pour the batter into the casserole or skillet. Add the fruit with its juices, distributing it evenly and lightly pressing it partway into the batter with a spatula.

    5. Return the pan to the oven and bake the cobbler until the top is a rich golden brown, about 1 hour. Serve hot or warm with ice cream or whipped cream. Serves 6 to 8.

    Have a good one! :)
