Raw Story: "Conyers: Impeachment off Pelosi's table, but not mine"

[Amerigo Vespucci]

Rep. John Conyers declared House Speaker Nancy Pelosi could not stop him from beginning impeachment proceedings in the House Judiciary Committee against a 'long list of people'in the Bush administration, although he did not make a firm commitment to begin proceedings.

"Nancy Pelosi has impeachment 'off the table,' but that's off her table, it is not off John Conyers' table," the Michigan Democrat said during a town hall meeting in his district Tuesday. "Nancy Pelosi, who I actually supported, cannot prevent me from introducing an impeachment resolution against, well I've got a long list of people who are eligible."

Conyers did not announce plans to begin impeachment proceedings, which he has previously said would be politically untenable. Rather, his speech seemed to indicate that pro-impeachment activists did not yet convince him that Bush and Cheney deserved to be booted from office. A Conyers spokesman did not immediately respond to RAW STORY's request for clarification of the congressman's comments.

"I want you to know that I have no reticence, no reluctance, no hesitation to use the tool of impeachment ... whenever I feel that it is appropriate," Conyers said. "I only wish that I could be moved by a lot of people coming to my office."

1. Well, get on with it Mr. Conyers.

Anything: Treason, high crimes and misdemeanors, diddling in the men's restroom.

And, um, move it. Just do it.

What the hell, it isn't possible for Congress to be held in lower regard by the American public; what do you have to lose? Think how much we have to gain.

2. If Nukes aren't off of the table, why is Impeachment?

If we could pay the ultimate moral price, not to mention the ultimate physical consequences to Earth, why don't we have the ultimate recourse to affect a course of events that could result in nuclear events?

Seems a bit lopsided doesn't it?

I promise I will call Conyers tomorrow.

3. High Crime: Obstruction of Justice

Misdemeanor: You name it they committed it. The impeachment, prosecution and incarceration of George W. Bush is a Slam Dunk. :dem:

4. What else does he need?

It is ridiculous that he doesn't introduce articles of impeachment, now! It all starts from him, what is the deal?

5. So Conyers wants people coming to his office? Emails and calls aren't enough? He must know

how many Americans are sick at heart at what this Administration has done--there's more than enough to impeach them.
