Conyers may hold hearings, but plans no action on impeachment

All Rep. Dennis Kucinich wants is a chance to present his case. The Ohio Democrat has made a crusade of his efforts to impeach George W. Bush and Dick Cheney, only to be ignored and ridiculed by many of his fellow lawmakers.

While House Speaker Nancy Pelosi still sees the prospect of actually booting the president from office as "off the table," discussing the idea now at least seems OK.

Sometime before its August recess, the House Judiciary Committee likely will hold a hearing to consider Kucinich's impeachment appeal, CQ Politics reports:

Chairman John Conyers Jr. , D-Mich., said Judiciary will take a broad look at the behavior of the Bush administration, and Kucinich can lay out his arguments as part of that as-yet unscheduled hearing.

Kucinich, D-Ohio, intends to formally offer a resolution on Tuesday that accuses Bush of lying to Congress in order to get approval to invade Iraq.



Conyers said he wants a public discussion of the issues being raised by Kucinich, but does not plan to take any action on the resolution. “We’re not doing impeachment, but he can talk about it,” the chairman said.

He said such a hearing would continue oversight of the executive branch that has included hearings on the exposure of the name of CIA operative Valerie Plame and the firing of U.S. attorneys.

3. Look - Conyers And Pelosi Are Good Law Abiding People....

they certainly are not blind to what *Co has done to this country for the last 8 years. Does anyone think that they know what they are doing and really have a plan to take care of this administration so that the crimes *Co has committed won't happen again?

5. Conyers can't push Impeachment because Pelosi would be implicated

in Bush's crimes. She, Harman, and Rockefeller to name a few are guilty of colluding with Bush on war crimes and breaking FISA laws. The latest FISA bill was supported by them to cover their butts from prosecution.
