i did not.
i'm glad DK brought it up, but i had a hunch that Pelosi lined up her hit squad to shoot it down (which was borne out by the original vote, before all hell broke loose). i don't think she figured the R's would pull their stunt.
Pelosi was clear that impeachment is off the table. the history of the bill makes it clear that the House leadership DOES NOT WANT TO MOVE ON IT. it's been sitting in House Judiciary for months, in a subcommittee that Conyers is on. Why hasn't action been taken yet? Why was DK forced to resort to a Rule IX question of the privileges of the House to get action on it?
of course i didn't want it to die. i just figured it would.
