In their last event of the day, students watched a taping of public access television by Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Oh.).
The show, a careful analysis of "The Bill of Rights" for Manchester Community Access Media (MCAM-TV), allowed for Kucinich, and two panelist supporters, to establish a nuanced argument for impeachment.
"It is our duty, not just our right, to move forward with impeachment if we see our laws, or international treaties, being violated," Kucinich said, receiving applause from the studio audience.
Kucinich also criticized "corporate media" for shutting him out of the ABC news, which he derided as "Disney Corp. TV," debate Saturday night at St. Anselm College.

Panels in Manchester AND Clinton's odd labor rally
After the Edwards rally, the journey continued to a panel discussion by the National Review Online about the New Hampshire primaries at the Radisson in downtown Manchester.
Many of the students appeared bored and restless, and they wandered around the Radisson looking for some political action.
Students stumbled upon a closed-door union rally in the next large room, but were denied access because they weren't union members. Unions represented included the Teamsters, the International Bricklayers union and AFSCME.
The star attraction was former President Bill Clinton, who spoke for ten minutes to resounding applause from a capacity crowd about getting out the vote for his wife, Sen. Hillary Clinton (N.Y.).
It was odd to see such tremendous support for the man who signed the North American Free Trade Agreement into law, since NAFTA was so harshly opposed by the labor movement. But the voters clapped and hollered away anyway.
Host of MSNBC's Hardball, Chris Matthews, attributed it to a show of support for the party, as opposed to directly for the candidate. "They are all pro-Democrat," he said.
