Re: House to Debate Impeachement of Vice President Cheney?
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] 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. [/ QUOTE ] Or maybe Republicans realize their party is in trouble and Cheney has disgraced it and they might extricate themselves more smoothly from this history if they have a fall guy? [/ QUOTE ] No. That's definitely not the reason. They're hoping to expose the far left's influence over the Democratic Party. [/ QUOTE ] I'm pretty sure Kucinich will get one hour on the floor sometime tomorrow or Thursday, then it will be tabled. I don't think this will have a large impact on the Democrats, since I would expect a large percentage of them will also vote to table the bill.

Re: House to Debate Impeachement of Vice President Cheney?
Why would it matter--he would just get pardoned anyway if it somehow got legs.

So is Bailey right that this will just get stuck in committee and go nowhere? [/ QUOTE ] It's hard to judge. Can a committe just ignore an impeachment referral? The Democratic leadership will definitely like to see this killed. They don't want this dominating the House agenda.
