FORGET IMPEACHMENT - whatever happened to the HEARINGS we were promised?

[Zhade]

You know, the ones people here kept hanging their hopes on, after which impeachment was bound to happen (as it should, given the scope of this administration's undeniable crimes)?

Does anyone know? I certainly haven't heard much aside from the courageous attempts by Kucinich and his cosponsors who aren't willing to let criminals walk.

Fill me in, DU - tell me accountability isn't as dead as I fear it is.

(Edited to fix the '/; problem I keep having with keyboards!)

1. Democrats have rolled over and need to be held accountable

Kucinich is an exception

[JuniperLea]

4. I believe Kucinich is a man of his word...

And will continue to put the articles of impeachment before Congress again and again as neccessary...

2. Well, turns out they need witnesses to actually show up for those

and apparently, subpoenaed witnesses get to choose whether to show up. Who knew? :shrug:

3. They subpoenaed Rove. He said fuck you and that was that.

[grannylib]

6. And that's the subject of Article 27 -

"Failing to comply with Congressional subpoenas and instructing former employees not to comply."

10. He did say that, I think he has until the 20th, though.

Then, they may charge him with inherent contempt. They really want rover, and I think they may go after him for real.

5. Anthrax?

DC Madam?

7. The Anthrax Letter story IS THE KEY to...

understanding everything you need to know about the political and media system in the USA.

9. Yeah and I wonder what they swiped

while they were "cleaning" everybody's office... :scared:

8. I am still waiting on the Ohio recount from 2004

11. Conyers the hero turned out to be a zero

[Occam Bandage]

13. Shockingly, when the witnesses refuse to show up, when the White House refuses o

surrender documents, when the RNC destroys any evidence that evidence existed, and when the Justice department is stacked with Bushies, it can be slightly difficult to hold hearings.
