Go Dennis!

Quote : | " Dennis Kucinich is speaking on the floor of Congress (and on C-SPAN) right now, introducing articles of impeachment.
Go, Dennis!
[As suggested in comments]:Congressman Dennis Kucinich is on the floor of the House of Representatives right now introducing 35 articles of impeachment against President George W. Bush.
Yes, 35. He'll be reading for a while. [Update: at an hour and a half, he's up to #14 :-) ]

Watch C-Span Now!
I'll post the text when it's available.
Update: Probably not, considering the length. Still no link to it, e.g., on his own website.
One substantive thing to note: these are more than just "articles of impeachment." They are that, plus all the supporting evidence behind each article. All that's needed now is the vote! Nancy, ball's in your court!
Second update: I realize this is still going on, and will be for a while. Nevertheless, it's interesting to note in this day of 24-hour cable where a police car chase in L.A. will instantly make national news, there isn't a word about this yet on CNN, MSNBC, Google News, Yahoo News, or anyplace else I can tell. It will be interesting to see when (and very definitely if!) it does.
Third update: Link to some early video and transcript (first 10 minutes only!) from RawStory, thanks to heathergirl in the comments.
Third update: Very short AP story, courtesy of caneel in the comments.
Fourth update: Who is this women sneaking in behind Dennis to get national TV time? :-)
Fifth update: "Misprison of a felony" enters the discussion in the manner of Valerie Plame.
Sixth update: Bravo to Dennis for: A) mentioning the Geneva Conventions, which few other American politicians are willing to acknowledge actually apply to us, and B) repeatedly mentioning Iraqi civilians, and not just the 4000+ American troops, as victims of the war and of George Bush (and for not mincing words on the number - a million plus - of Iraqi dead).
Seventh update: Now we're on to torture, another well-justified article. I'm hoping article 35 will be "uncontrolled smirking." Which, I should point out without making light of real torture, is torture to those of us who have to put up with it. " |
