REP. KUCINICH TO PUSH TONIGHT FOR REFERRAL OF
IMPEACH RESOLUTION TO JUDICIARY COMMITTEE...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kucinich to push for referral of impeachment resolution to Judiciary Committee
By Mike Sheehan | Congress, impeachment | Tuesday, 10 June 2008

Rep. Dennis Kucinich, who last night presented articles of impeachment against President George W. Bush to Congress, will tonight move that his impeachment resolution be referred to the Judiciary Committee, per a press release from his office.

The thirty-five articles of impeachment that the Democratic lawmaker from Ohio painstakingly read last night for several hours to the House of Representatives will be read again tonight into the Congressional record by the Clerk of the House.

After the reading ends, Kucinich “will rise and make a motion that the Impeachment Resolution be referred to committee,” said the release. Should a vote occur, further action will be postponed until Wednesday.

“It is imperative that Members of Congress have a thorough opportunity to read the Articles of Impeachment and study the documentation,” said Kucinich, in the release. “When they do, I am confident that they will agree that it is both appropriate and necessary for the Judiciary Committee to begin hearings on the Resolution.”

25. I think they're doing so

27. CNN is casting this as a defeat, saying Republicans are voting for impeachment.

http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/06/11/kucinich.impeach.vote/index.html

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- An attempt by Rep. Dennis Kucinich to impeach President Bush was kicked into legislative no-man's land by members of his own party Wednesday.

The House voted 251-166 to send the Ohio Democrat's impeachment resolution to committee, a maneuver that allows the Democratic leadership to freeze the measure indefinitely.

The vote largely followed partisan lines, with 225 Democrats voting to punt the measure to committee.

<...>

All 166 votes in favor of opening up a House impeachment debate came from Republicans, apparently eager to paint Democrats as political creatures in a time of serious issues. Kucinich voted with his party, against his own measure.

What a complete and utter crock of shit. It feels like Pravda.
