The House is in session

[malaise]

Let's see how they deal with Dennis Kucinich's Articles of Impeachment. One thing is sure - he's getting more media coverage now.

[bryant69]

1. Yep - that's certainly true

He certainly is more the center of attention than he was.

[Wizard777]

13. It figures. Bush has sent in his bulldog bodyguard Nancy Pelosi.

[bdamomma]

22. she is *'s pitbull is more like it.

[Wizard777]

29. Nancy is a political brat just like Bush. She the daughter of Baltimore Mayor Delasandro.

Oh yeah! One other thing. They named a street after her in Baltimore when She became Speaker of the House. I now call it the Walk Of Shame.

[Wizard777]

14. If she tries to go to the convention. They should refuse to let her in.

They should tell her she's in the wrong place. Her convention is in Minneapolis. Leave her standing outside going. :banghead:

5. Oh gee Bryant

I think he would prefer that this had never happened in the first place to put him in that center. I really doubt he is rejoicing about this opportunity.

[bryant69]

10. I would have no way of knowing. n/t

[Whoa_Nelly]

2. Am watching it now

and just emailed my rep. to vote to impeach

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

4. i'm going back and forth between c-span and c-span3

c-span3 has the oil supply and demand hearing about to start.

[malaise]

6. I'll open CSpan 3 on my lap top

Boehner bawling for Anwar drilling - no tears of the clown yet.

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

8. c-span3 - sensenbrenner bawling about anwr, too

[malaise]

9. Same thing in the House

that's the talking point. Blame the Dems. Ethridge responding the way all Dems should although he needs to keep reminding people about the Energy plan designed by CHeney and the oil men.

[bdamomma]

23. unbelieveable.

the ANWR drilling will not accomplish anything but destroy a beautiful area and the animals. Instead of using solar, and wind and other alternative fuels these jerks are too addicted to Oil and to their oil buddies.

[bobmorr1]

7. just called my rep

Just called Kirks office both in Wash. DC and his campaign headquarters. Expressed my concern to uphold the oath of office and not to vote because of party affiliation. CAN'T WAIT FOR THE VOTE.

[KharmaTrain]

11. So Boner Has To Open His Yap???

And Jay Inslee slapped him down. :bounce:

Right now I'd be content if everyone went home...just pass a continuing resolution and go into recess.

[goodhue]

12. any clue as to when they will vote on impeachment resolution?

[MrCoffee]

15. They don't have to do anything with it until tomorrow

According to THOMAS, H. Res. 1258 was introduced on 6/10/08. It was introduced under Rule XI as a question of the privileges of the House. The Speaker has two days after introduction to schedule a vote.

I really thought it was introduced on Monday, which meant a vote would have been today. I'm really confused as to how it was introduced on Tuesday.

[goodhue]

16. I'm guessing maybe Dennis did not get done reading until after 12am EST

[MrCoffee]

17. I checked the Cong. Record yesterday...I really thought it was during Monday's session

I'm so confused...:shrug:

Anyway, the House doesn't have to do anything with the resolution until tomorrow.

[goodhue]

18. It was Monday evening

Here is link to June 9, 2008 Congressional Record . . .

[MrCoffee]

21. So is the vote today or tomorrow?

According to THOMAS, the bill was introduced 6/10

http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/D?d110:4:./temp/~bdKajD::|/bss/d110query.html|

[goodhue]

25. I thought it would be today, but I don't know; it was reread by clerks last night

[goodhue]

27. Wednesday vote . . .

http://www.cqpolitics.com/wmspage.cfm?parm1=5&docID=news-000002893830

Democratic leaders said they will schedule a Wednesday vote on Kucinich’s motion to refer the measure to committee.

[MrCoffee]

28. That's what I thought...THOMAS got me all twitterpated.

Thank you.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

19. It was re-read by Congressional clerks last night.

[MrCoffee]

20. Now I'm totally confused...Cong. Record page H5088 June 9, 2008

Kucinich announced his intent to raise a question of the privileges of the House.

http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/getpage.cgi?position=all&page=H5088&dbname=2008_record


Under Rule IX (not Rule XI, I never said I was good at Roman numerals) "A resolution offered from the floor by a Member, Delegate, or Resident Commissioner other than the Majority Leader or the Minority Leader as a question of the privileges of the House shall have precedence of all other questions except motions to adjourn only at a time or place, designated by the Speaker, in the legislative schedule within two legislative days after the day on which the proponent announces to the House his intention to offer the resolution and the form of the resolution.

http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?dbname=110_cong_house_rules_manual&docid=hruletx-66

So if DK announced his intent to raise the question on 6/9, why was the bill not introduced until 6/10? I'm so confused

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

24. I honestly don't know.

[bdamomma]
