We have a small window to push it forth

STATEMENT FROM HOUSE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE SPOKESMAN
by Vanessa Silvert... on November 6, 2007 - 8:11pm.

We called John Conyers's office and they wrote us back just a few minutes later:

"The Committee has a very busy agenda - over the next two weeks, we hope to pass a FISA bill, to vote on contempt of Congress citations, pass legislation on prisoner re-entry, court security and a variety of other very important items. We were surprised that the minority was so ready to move forward with consideration of a matter of such complexity as impeaching the Vice President. The Chairman will discuss today's vote with the Committee members but it would seem evident that the committee staff should continue to consider, as a preliminary matter, the many abuses of this Administration, including the Vice President."

"We were surprised that the minority was so ready to move forward with consideration of a matter of such complexity as impeaching the Vice President."

That's the sound of a political "Gotcha!" ... essentially shoving their game-playing votes down their throats.

Call John and tell him that impeachment is the people's business.

That says it's over to me.

there is a back up of work in the Judiciary committee.

Don't tell me that was all a farce. He was talking about impeachment more than almost anybody else, pushing it to the media. Then I see he switched his vote from pro-impeachment to against impeachment today. What was that all about?

Isn't impeachment what he said he wanted? Wasn't that a big issue for him? I hope he didn't change his mind.

Conyers is a politican. And he played us. He wasn't the only one.

It will wake when the time is right.

Say the republicans were for looking into it by sending it to him instead of tabling it. That would give the leadership cover too since they work hard to appeal to republicans.

discharge petition to get it out of committee and onto the floor.

In other words, that won't happen.

looks like they want a debate on the floor. Why wouldn't they want to sign a discharge petition?

This shit ain't over yet.

some folks want it dead

I am pretty sure they said he did. But I really think Democrats would impeach because they know they won't be able to pass it. And if it doesn't pass it would make bush and republicans look better.

Funny how when impeachment becomes a viable discussion, all of a sudden it is "complex" and they are "very busy". He got called on his threat and now we are seeing how hollow that threat was. Conyers was in this for the celebrity status in the impeachment community. He will not stand tall now.

now lets work to protect hedge fund profits from being taxed.
