Submitted by davidswanson on Mon, 2008-01-28 13:30. Impeachment

"State of the Unitary Executive? State of the Dictatorship? Today Congressman Kucinich will introduce over 50 Articles of Impeachment Against George W. Bush: Let Congress and the Media Know You Support This!"

1. Go Dennis!

IMPEACH '08

[Benhurst]

2. Couldn't Kucinich just bring Dubyah to the table and

have a nice touchy-feely talk with him?

[slipslidingaway]

7. That's not working, others certainly have tried :) n/t

[MissDeeds]

3. Bet the M$M won't mention it

It would be great for the network evening news programs to cover this prior to the SOTU address, but I doubt it will be mentioned. Hope KO will at least bring it up.

[tekisui]

5. They probably won't mention it unless the pukes try to do some

stupid game like they did with dickie.

[slipslidingaway]

8. Most in our own party will not mention it and to the best of my

knowledge Keith never had Dennis on his show this past year.

[cobalt1999]

11. Unless he has a ton of support, why would they mention it?

If he has a least a third of the house supporting him, then it'll be covered. If he's off on his own or with less than 75 reps also signed up, then it'll be ignored.

The issue isn't the MSM, but why not more support?

[snappyturtle]

4. Love it! K&R n/t

[L. Coyote]

6. GO DENNIS! k&r

[Blackdog4241]

9. Dennis is the Best

:yourock:

[CK_John]

10. I doubt he will get past parliamentary procedure. He is form without function. n/t

[elias7]

38. But what great form! His function would function in a working democracy. n/t

[Annces]

12. Thanks Kucinich n/t

[flvegan]

13. What Dems will back him? THAT is the question we need to ask.

[slipslidingaway]

15. Yes, that is the question! ...

Listening to this, selling the tax cuts in 2001 based on false statements just as they did the invasion of Iraq.

24. Probably the same ones who backed his failed attempt to impeach Cheney

[bdamomma]

14. how quick is this filthy House of Reps are going to tell Dennis

to withdraw his statements, especially when the repigs start whining.

[slipslidingaway]

16. He just has to avoid the "L" word. n/t

[slipslidingaway]

17. Monday, January 28, 2008 HOUSE MEETS AT 2:00 PM n/t

[tekisui]

26. That dirty, dirty, unutterable word. Even though it is the truth.

Why are politicians so scared of that word?

[RedStateShame]

31. It's the truth they're scared of.

n/t

[slipslidingaway]

33. Exactly n/t

[sakabatou]

18. You rock, Kucinich!

[Echo In Light]

20. K&R

[donf]

21. Big kick for Dennis!

The message must be sent to future Presidents that abuse of power will not go unchallenged! I just hope a few more Congresspersons grow a spine, and stand with Dennis to support his cause!

[orleans]

22. when? n/t

[in_cog_ni_to]

23. Does anyone know when he'll be on the House floor? n/t

[slipslidingaway]

25. When? His Washington office said they did not know a time...

Rep Wexler: Bush's State of Disunion

http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/?q=node/30503

"Tonight, President Bush will issue what will thankfully be his final State of the Union address; but, little of what he says can be trusted...

We must aggressively pursue impeachment hearings for Vice President Dick Cheney due to serious allegations of abuse of power including illegal wiretapping, torture, and deliberate lies to bring us to war...

Bush Administration officials and cabinet members must answer questions - on the record - regarding illegal wiretapping, torture, and what I perceive as deliberate, knowing lies to the American people in an effort to bring us to war in Iraq.

Impeachment hearings are essential because the Administration has recklessly used claims of executive privilege to block key witnesses from testifying. Impeachment hearings could force the Administration to drop their executive privilege claims and we would then finally get the answers this nation deserves..."

[B Calm]

27. I thought he already did this and it was in the..... oh never mind...

[Swamp Rat]

28. Geaux Dennis!!

[Drum]

29. Annnd...?

:shrug:

Any word?

[slipslidingaway]

34. See the update...

is there a woodshed behind the Capitol.

:shrug:

"3:53 p.m. UPDATE: Congressman Kucinich just Emailed me that this is on hold and not happening today. The reason may be good or bad. I'm not clear on the details. More to come."

[Drum]

36. thanks nt

[McCamy Taylor]

30. I support it! Go Dennis!

[slipslidingaway]

35. Me too. It not only serves to list the crimes of Bush, but it also

can be used for citizens to hold their reps accountable.

[slipslidingaway]

32. 3:53 p.m. UPDATE...

"Congressman Kucinich just Emailed me that this is on hold and not happening today. The reason may be good or bad. I'm not clear on the details. More to come..."

37. UPDATE from Kucinich site, met with Judiciary Committee today

http://kucinich.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=82672

"Washington, Jan 28 - Today, Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) released the following statement:

"After making a statement on the floor of the House of Representatives last week indicating my intent to introduce articles of impeachment against George W. Bush, I met with members of the Judiciary Committee. After that brief meeting, I am hopeful there will be an inquiry by the Judiciary Committee. I will give them the opportunity to proceed before introducing articles of impeachment."

[Fire Walk With Me]

39. That means NOTHING will happen.

Sounds like someone is using well below the belt level tactics against him.

Not that this bunch has ever done anything untrustworthy.

[Freddie Stubbs]

40. Sounds like once again Kucinich can't get shit done

But he means well, I'm sure.

[Fire Walk With Me]

41. Sounds like he needs our support because the Mil-Indus complex does NOT want their gravy train ended

Why is he the only one against the fall of democracy? Why don't more people support him?

[slipslidingaway]

43. That says more to me about the other members of our party

than it does about Kucinich. So many of them were either fooled, just went along being a good team player or were complicit in the rush to invade Iraq.

Same with the single-payer health care issue as the 2000 and 2004 platform committees told him.

And our party has said nothing about the draft Iraq Oil Law that we tried to pressure the Iraqi's to pass.

Dennis has been trying to fight the MIC, big insurance and oil companies and most people in our party remained silent.

But let's talk about what we will do for the poor and forget about all the money that goes to the bottom line line of these companies.

:shrug:

[slipslidingaway]

42. Or maybe a feeble attempt will be made against Cheney???

"...After that brief meeting, I am hopeful there will be an inquiry by the Judiciary Committee. I will give them the opportunity to proceed before introducing articles of impeachment."
