House to Debate Impeachement of Vice President Cheney?
For some time, Rep. Dennis Kucinich (also Presidential candidate) has been trying to orchestrate an impeachement of the Vice President. Naturally, the Republicans opposed this. Democratic House leadership also opposed the idea since it was the agenda of the far left and seems unlikely to have any popular support from middle-America.
A vote today in the House was supposed to end with Kucinich's efforts being tabled and effectively killed. However, it appears Republicans have switched votes in large #s, presumably to give the far-left an opportunity to expose their radicalism without actually putting Cheney at risk.
The vote is still in progress.
