"Failure to implement mandated DTS provisions within HERA is a violation of law and falls well within the realm of the high crime and misdemeanor standard applied to the President and other high ranking Federal officials in impeachment cases."
Again...unless the courts determine he violated provisions of HERA, then he violated no provisions of HERA. It is not Congress's or the Presidents job to interpret legislature. That is the court's job. Until a court tells us that Watt didn't do his job, then, by default, he did do his job.
"If such action must be filed before Congress to become binding, so be it. I believe Watt has amassed enough negative vibe on both sides of the aisle to be discarded in any kind of up and down vote."
No, you seem to have misunderstood me. Congress can not determine that Watt has not done his job. They can merely addend HERA to make the director roles more specific and less ambiguous. Only the courts can actually determine that Watt did anything wrong. Without that, there is no "for cause" termination available. And, of course, if anything were filed against Watt, it would probably be a year until we had a final ruling assuming he went thru the full appeals process.
"Remember his testimony before Dem. Representative Mike Capuano of Mass? I seem to recall an equally difficult hearing session before Ranking Member Representative Maxine Waters, as well. "
I do remember these. They were definitely tough on Watt. Of course...I don't think I can recall a recorded hearing in all of history where the person being questioned had it "easy". I'm pretty sure that is the purpose of the hearings...to make the American public feel satiated.
