At every step from now on the resolution can be buried - the Judiciary Committee chairman can sit on it, or if it gets out of committee, Speaker Boehner can sit on it.

That’s essentially what happened when Rep. Kucinich’s articles of impeachment against President Bush.

“Kucinich had said that if his impeachment article was tabled he would simply propose another one. In June, he spent four hours on the House floor reading his longer resolution into the record, only to see it buried in committee.”

Just for completeness here is the text of Kucinich’s H. Res. 1258:

This resolution was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary (like H. Res. 411) where it was tabled and never debated.

Well, I believe th epolitical environment is a little more amiable, and if Bonehead decides to cave to the darkside of the force again...

I really hope that the good people of Ohio hear the call, and make an adjustment, at the very least...If not, then I am sure there can be other options to explore...

This has to get out of that committee and to the full House and a vote...That is the most I feel that will come of this, at this particular juncture...
