I've been posting the state impeachment resolution news for the past day or so and the updates from Vermont and Maine are on the Greatest Page, but this New Mexico news from late last night may be the most significant:

NEW Impeachment Victory in NM, Passes Judiciary Committee!

Filed under: News, IfP, impeachment — Jodin Morey @ 9:13 pm

This just in, the Impeachment resolution has just passed the New Mexico Senate Judiciary Committee, the last of three hurdles that party leaders had thrown in our way before the resolution could appear on the Senate floor for a vote. Now all eyes turn to New Mexico as its State Senate will vote on whether to impeach Bush.

Here's the running commentary from a patriot who was sitting in the Judiciary Committee and live blogging as it happened… Linda at democracyfornewmexico.com…

Sitting here in Room 321 in the StateHouse … the good news is that all 6 (Democratic Representatives) are here today, so we have a strong majority.
We are behind aproximately 10 Bills … 7:38pm Central Senator Ortiz y Pino is now addressing the Committee. He is opening with discussion of his video Conference with Former Congresswoman Hollzman with her expertise in the matters of impeachment. They are getting ready to show a few moments of the interview. As he covers some of her answers. …8:06pm Central They are now going to the proponents for the this Resolution. The People will now get to speak in support of this resolution. Each person speaking will be given 2 minutes max. They are preparing for an hour of discussion. … 8:17pm Central Franster just spoke eloquently. She brought tears to my eyes. We have a great group of people here representing the American people. … 9:06pm Central Currently we have Senator Adair addressing us and mispresenting what everyone said. Claiming we want impeachment for a difference of policy - HA! ya da ya da ya. He's saying some pretty incredible things and accusations. 9:07pm Central] The Senate Committee HAS PASSED THE RESOLUTION. WOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOO

Even if you're not from New Mexico, please contact the New Mexico Senators and remind them of their obligation to uphold the Constitution in this upcoming floor vote on impeachment. Now is when we must add the pressure to get this going.
