[GJM] Fw: [globalnetnews-summary] House votes to send impeachment resolution to Judiciary Committee

[mary rose]

There are times when I get very distinct feelings that we are
playing "good guy - bad guy" here for the benefit of we-the-
people. You know the game  -- it looks as if something is
being done when it really isn't -- just more of "let's fool and
manipulate the people again" so the corporations can keep
on doing what they are doing.to benefit the powers that be:
their investors.    .

House votes to send impeachment resolution to Judiciary Committee
By Nick Juliano | Uncategorized | Wednesday, 11 June 2008

Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH)
The House of Representatives voted Wednesday to send articles of impeachment 
against President Bush to the Judiciary Committee for review.

The impeachment resolution's sponsor, Rep. Dennis Kucinich, requested a 
recorded vote on the motion around 3 p.m. Wednesday, and 24 Republicans 
joined nearly all Democrats in voting to send the impeachment measure to the 
committee.

The motion passed 251-166.

"It is imperative that Members of Congress have a thorough opportunity to 
read the Articles of Impeachment and study the documentation," Kucinich said 
in a news release Tuesday. "When they do, I am confident that they will 
agree that it is both appropriate and necessary for the Judiciary Committee 
to begin hearings on the Resolution."

Kucinich took to the floor of the House Monday evening to read his 35 
articles of impeachment, accusing Bush of war crimes, breaking his oath of 
office and misleading Americans to launch an illegal invasion of Iraq. The 
Ohio Democrat said impeachment was the only way to keep Bush from launching 
another invasion of Iran.

The Judiciary Committee, chaired by Rep. John Conyers (D-MI), already has 
before it articles of impeachment aimed at Vice President Dick Cheney. Since 
receiving that impeachment measure in November, the committee has done 
nothing.

Democratic leaders in the House seem determined to block the latest 
impeachment measure as well, and it remains all-but-impossible that the 
House would proceed with impeachment hearings before Bush leaves office.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi is sticking by her earlier pledge to make sure 
impeaching Bush and Cheney is an option that remains strictly "off the 
table."
