Eight House Dems Back Impeachment Probe

Eight House Democrats have announced their support for legislation that would establish an impeachment inquiry into whether President Bush for committed high crimes and misdemeanors against the U.S. in connection with the Iraq war.

HR 635 calls for "Creating a select committee to investigate the administration's intent to go to war before congressional authorization, manipulation of pre-war intelligence, encouraging and countenancing torture [and] retaliating against critics."

The legislation says that the select committee should "make recommendations regarding grounds for possible impeachment."

The bill, first proposed by Rep. John Conyers last month, claims that there is "at least a prima facie case that these actions" violated federal law.

According to the Atlanta Progressive News, HR635 has attracted the support of seven co-sponsors so far, including Rep. Lois Capps (D-CA), Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee (D-TX), Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA), Rep. Donald Payne (D-NJ), Rep. Charles Rangel (D-NY), Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA), and Rep. Lynn Woolsey (D-CA).

This is nothing more than an attempt at revenge for impeaching Clinton.

The same cast of characters....or usual suspects as I prefer to call them...

It is the same group of people who stir up all the sh!t all the time. This should be of no surprise to anyone on this site.

Then maybe we can put this Bush "lied" hysteria to bed. I'm sick of it.

Maybe it is time for a MURFA type vote in the House. Let's see the demoncrats go on the record.

Conyers' district in Detroit is one of the most crime infested in the nation. People live behind bars in their own homes. You can't even park your own car in your own driveway without getting it stolen.

It'd be nice for a change if Mr. Conyers would concentrate on helping the people of his district respond against crime. My mother lived in his district until she was mugged. I moved her out because the Detroit police told me they could not protect her.

It's time for Mr. Conyers to work on something more meaningful.

It is amazing that all the crime ridden areas are "led" by democrats. Sorry to hear about your mom, but glad that you were able to get her out of their into a safer and hopefully happier environment (meaning sometimes its hard for people to leave an area after living their for a long time).
Take care.

Cindy's a little preoccupied with solving the Tupac Amaru Shakur Murder Mystery.

HR 635

Conyers and seven co-sponsors? Well, it's cheaper than a full page ad in the NYT.

"Sure, Congressman, you can put anything you want in a resolution. Good luck getting it on the agenda."

Which brings up he question, what if the RATS take over the house and Senate in 2006? I don't think it will happen, but worst case scenario, what if? You know they'll try to impeach the President. What should we do about it?

Three of those seven are members of Communism Lite - literally. Waters & Woolsey (D [CA]), and Payne (D [N.J.]) are members of the Democratic Socialists of America.

Hang 'em after a trial for treason.

I could have predicted most of the people on the list without even reading the story.
