So much for H. Res 1258

[MrCoffee]

http://www.cspan.org/

"The House just voted to send Rep. Dennis Kucinich's (D-OH) resolution, calling for Pres. Bush's impeachment, to the Judiciary Cmte. The resolution was read for a second time on the House floor last night."

[nadinbrzezinski]

1. I want to see the roll call on this

[papapi]

14. Roll call on HR 1258 (link)

[MrCoffee]

15. Thanks for the link

I was really worried that this was going to be another fiasco.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

17. Dennis and Wexler even voted to send it to Committee.

[MrCoffee]

18. Of course they did...it was Dennis who offered the motion to refer

My fear was that it was going to turn into another 333 bungle.


Now it'll die a nice quiet death along with 333 and 799.

[bryant69]

2. What should they have done?

Isn't the Judiciary Committee the appropriate place to review this?

Ah forming special committees on impeachment

are long forgotten I see

They sent it there to DIE

[liberal N proud]

3. That is the process

[bdamomma]

4. so does mean it's dead just like Cheney's articles of impeachment.

[MrCoffee]

7. That's exactly what it means.

The House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights and Civil Liberties won't do a thing with this.

[Wizard777]

8. No! Not at all. Just waiting for Scotty to testify. If they weren't conducting investigations.

This would be bad. But when the judiciary committee confirm the charges. They will come out of committee and go for a vote. Don't think that once something is in committee. That it can't ever come out of committe. Committe is not a blackhole.

[marylanddem]

13. Thank you! I think this is a tremendous, a great thing, & a great

day. Dennis started the ball rolling & it ain't gonna stop.

[Wizard777]

27. I don't what district your from but if Sarbanes is your Rep. He voted Yea.

Ruppersberger also voted Yea. Gilchrest was absent.

[Freddie Stubbs]

16. It's kind of like a Terri Schiavo kind of dead

Sure, technically it is still alive, but you know that it is never going to recover.

28. LMAO! Mercury in retrograde. The messenger is going to bring it back.

32. I have a Voodoo Doll that was given to me by Marie Laveau (the daughter)

I think I'm going to have a lil fun with it again. The last time I put a pin in it. Bush skined up his face.

[SpiralHawk]

33. Beware the bounce-back ju-ju of Black Magic

It is a republicon-style tactic. But the old timers say Black Magic ultimately comes back on the perpetrator sevenfold, no escaping.

[Wizard777]

34. Voodoo isn't really "Black Magic." In the ceremonies I use I'm basically requiring Karma

to take part of what she is owed by him now. But I'll probably invoke Ahriman and command him to turn the druj that have served Bush against him instead. Then send Vohumana to shine upon the House. I think that would be more effective right now.

[Wizard777]

5. WOO HOO! We win! That's EXACTLY where it needs to be.

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

[bdamomma]

6. yea, but will it be acted on by Conyers.

HR333 Impeachment of Dick Cheney is dead and buried too. sickening absolutely sickening. they are just accomplices to the whole raping of the country.

[Wizard777]

22. If they weren't conducting related investigations. I would say it's dead.

But they are. Until the JC developes proof of these charges. They're just baseless accusations. This isn't over yet. Bush is repeating old behavior paterns. As Texas Governor Bush was being heavily investigated by the FBI. He was probably the most investigated Governor in History and he gone on to become the most investigated President in history. He just hit the concrette ceiling. He can't move up to avoid the conclusion of these investigations.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

21. Do you hear that metallic tap, tap tap???

It's the nails going into the coffin.

Conyers' killed the Cheney Impeachment Resolution too.

Democratic Leadership is just as complicit as the Republican Leadership.

[Wizard777]

23. All we have now is charges. The JC needs to prove these charges.

Once they have proof of teh charges. It will go to the floor for a vote. It ain't dead yet.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

31. They are going to bury it in committee, just like they did with the Cheney resolution.

Conyers will not pursue Impeachment.

He has rolled over.

[Xenocrates]

9. If you're concerned, then contact John Conyers.. chairman of the Judiciary Cmte.

[berni_mccoy]

10. Kucinich himself made a statement recommending to send it to committee.

[Freddie Stubbs]

19. Oh course. He doesn't want another embarrassment where most Democrats vote against it

like when he tried to bring the Cheney impeachment to the floor.

[MrCoffee]

20. Exactly. That was a massive train-wreck, and I'm glad we didn't have a repeat.

[tekisui]

11. That is what Kucinich wanted to happen.

It is now up to the American People to pressure Pelosi into letting up on COnyers.

Or, for Scotty to let it all fly out of his guilt ridden lips.

[Freddie Stubbs]

35. He wanted it to go to the same committee where the Cheney impeachment bill has gotten zero hearings?

Brilliant strategy.

Now is the time to write your Congressperson!

Two members of Congress have taken their oath of office seriously--Monday night June 9, Rep. Dennis Kucinich introduced Articles of Impeachment against George Bush and today, June 10, Robert Wexler co-sponsored the bill.

We are in a constitutional crisis--a president who breaks the law at will and a Democratic Congress that refuses to prosecute him as the Constitution demands.

Tell your member of Congress to stand up and do the right thing instead of the politically expedient thing.
