Kucinich moves to impeach Cheney
Dennis Kucinich’s bill to impeach Dick Cheney has made its way to the Floor. A lot is being made of it in the media. Naturally. However, the realities of the situation are not nearly as exciting.
It will die.
Guaranteed.
An impeachment process completely stifles Congress. Nancy Pelosi et al have things they want to do. If they allow this impeachment process to progress any further, they won’t be able to go around saying “…..that Bush has neglected“. So far, Nancy’s Congress has accomplished basically nothing tangible. She’s not given her presidential candidates anything to run with other than “what Bush has neglected”. If her Congress continues to the path it’s on now, that argument the Dems are using will be moot as anyone can easily substitute “….. that the Democrat Congress neglected”. An impeachment process will guarantee that. I really don’t think Nancy’s quite that stupid. John Conyers has already come out against it, I expect to see a whole slate of Democrats who voted for going into Iraq to do the same.
I won’t even get to the point that Kucinich can’t get meaningful legislation passed, much less something as meaningless as this.
