16. wait maybe we party too soon...
snip from wires:

Democrats countered by offering a motion to refer the proposal
to the House Judiciary Committee for further study, effectively
preventing a debate on the House floor. That motion passed by a
largely party-line vote of 218-194.
The White House, in a statement, said Democrats were shirking
responsibilities on issues such as childrens' health insurance
"and yet they find time to waste an afternoon on an impeachment
vote against the vice president. ... This is why Americans shake
their head in wonder about the priorities of this Congress."
Kucinich has long pushed for a vote to impeach Cheney, but has
failed to win the backing of the Democratic leadership. After
Kucinich introduced the resolution, House Majority Leader Steny
Hoyer, D-Md., immediately moved to table it.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said "impeachment is off the table"
and Congress is focused on responsibly getting U.S. troops out of
Iraq, covering 10 million uninsured children and meeting national
priorities long neglected by the Bush administration, said her
spokesman Nadeam Elshami.
The resolution said that Cheney, "in violation of his
constitutional oath to faithfully execute the office of vice
president," had "purposely manipulated the intelligence process
to deceive the citizens and Congress of the United States by
fabricating a threat of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction to
justify the use of the U.S. Armed Forces against the nation of Iraq
in a manner damaging to our national security interests."
The 11-page resolution also charged that Cheney purposely
deceived the nation about an alleged relationship between Iraq and
al-Qaida and has "openly threatened aggression against the
Republic of Iran absent any real threat to the United States."
House approval of an article of impeachment sends the issue to
the Senate, which has the constitutional authority to try and, with
a two-thirds vote, remove a person from office:

snip

does that sound like the resolution got sucked into the black hole of Conyers committee where it's already been sitting since May?

28. unfortunately, we have been here before with Conyers--read this
http://www.organicconsumers.org/articles/article_6264.cfm

he talks about it sometimes--but only as a threat--and any real action is not on the table.

I'm listening to Randi but I gotta run before the heavy traffic arrives here.

Are you listening to Randi or C-Span? If so, can you keep it updated here?

Thanks if you can!! :D

19. umm--sorry-- we later found out that this vote merely threw the res
into the trash bin in the bottom of Conyer's desk.

It won't be debated.

26. Then let's put pressure on him.
I don't buy the argument that impeachment would interfere with the people's business. What Cheney has done IS the people's business.

36. Well, I'm a bit far away from Conyer's office to actually go there.
However, I have fast fingers, and I have a voice, and I plan to use both of them.
