Re: Cheney's Impeachment - Nothing will happen
Here's a blurb from the NY Times:

"Ohio Democratic Rep. Dennis J. Kucinich on Tuesday introduced articles of impeachment against Vice President Dick Cheney for “high crimes and misdemeanors” related to his participation in the buildup for the war in Iraq — and what the longshot Democratic presidential contender said was belligerent rhetoric toward Iran."

Except this was from April 2007 and nothing has happened.

From today's NY Times:

"It is hard to know which effort has longer odds, the bid by Representative Dennis J. Kucinich, Democrat of Ohio, to become president of the United States, or his bid to unseat Vice President Dick Cheney by impeaching him."

-snip-

But then the Republicans sensed an opportunity to irritate the House speaker, Nancy Pelosi of California, who has said the Democrats have no interest in impeaching Mr. Cheney or President Bush over the Iraq war. The Republicans began changing their votes, and by the end, the tally was 251 to 162 not to table it, with 165 Republicans voting no.

440 days or 62 weeks to go until Bush/Cheney are out of office. No sooner, no later.

1. Oh course no. Kucinich knows this. It was simply a political stunt meant to
kick-start his flagging campaign.

2. Let me try to explain this
This resolution is going before the Judiciary Committee. Three co-signers of House Res 333 currently reside on that committee. For those who want impeachment I suggest you kindly contact members on that committee who reside in your state. I posted this about 2 hours ago and don't have time to go back and get the details again.

7. His April resolution also went before the Judiciary Committee
IMO - Same resolution, same outcome.
