You know your country is effed when not only does the mainstream media not cover this, but even message boards with hundreds of users never got the news. wtf? I searched these forums before I posted this, and I am amazed this didn't get a mention. Good thing I came along, huh?
Impeachment Gets Even More Traction
Three members of the House Judiciary Committee have co-authored an op-ed in which they express their view that impeachment hearings should begin for Dick Cheney to investigate the deceptive actions he took with regard to intelligence on Iraq's weapons program before the start of the Iraq war, to investigate the actions he took to reveal the identity of a covert agent, and to investigate the actions he took toward the illegal wiretapping of Americans without a warrant.
The op-ed is available here: A Case for Impeachment Hearings (http://www.commondreams.org/archive/2007/12/14/5839/)
However, it will be an uphill battle for these members of Congress because of the Democratic leadership's decision that it is more politically expedient to ignore the high crimes and misdemeanors committed by the vice president. It is therefore important for these members of Congress calling for impeachment that their colleagues know Americans are behind them and support their efforts to uphold the rule of law.
The three representatives calling for impeachment hearings are Robert Wexler (D-FL), Luis Gutierrez (D-IL), and Tammy Baldwin (D-WI).
Representative Wexler has started an online petition that he will use to persuade his other colleagues on the House Judiciary Committee that impeachment hearings should be begun as soon as possible.
