One of the architects of the Bush administration's torture policies is a federal judge with a lifetime appointment. We need accountability.

As the Assistant Attorney General for the Office of Legal Counsel under President George W. Bush, Jay Bybee tried to bend the law to justify the administration's torture policies. Had the Bush era torture memos -- released by the Obama administration -- been disclosed when Jay Bybee was nominated by the former president for the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, he probably would not have been confirmed by the Senate.

To quote the New York Times, "Mr. Bybee is unfit for a job that requires legal judgment and a respect for the Constitution. Congress should impeach him."

Chairman Conyers:

Please enter a resolution to impeach Judge Jay Bybee of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals for his role in enabling illegal acts while heading the Office of Legal Counsel.
