BREAKING: Five US Reps Support Cheney Impeachment

US Rep. Yvette Clarke (D-NY) has become the fifth total co-sponsor of US Rep. Dennis Kucinich's (D-OH) bill to impeach Vice President of the United States Dick Cheney, Atlanta Progressive News has learned. In addition to Kucinich, the additional three Members of Congress who have signed on to H. Res 333 are US Rep. Janice Schakowsky (D-IL), William Lacy Clay (D-MO), and Albert Wynn (D-MD).

"This Administration has continued to erode the trust of the American people and enough is simply enough," stated US Rep. Clarke in a press release issued first to Atlanta Progressive News

Given that there are 435 Representatives, you got less than 2% of the House backing this effort.

Ho-hum. When you've got 218 Representatives calling for impeachment, come back and let us know. It might be entertaining, but unless 67 Senators vote to convict, it will be meaningless.

Rome also didn't leave office in less than 2 years.

Not much more than a year and half now. Few things could sink the Democrats in the eyes of the public more readily now than to launch impeachment proceedings in what could readily be seen as a spiteful move, which would serve no useful purpose, while tying up the work of the Congress.

If people really want to "get" Cheney, or the Shrub, they should wait until they're out of office, and launch civil law suits against them.

Morons running a country which is on its knees, for them, 2 years can seem like a lifetime. People are waking up.

Evidence of malfeasances would have to be overwhelming. I can see a situation in which the Executive branch refuses to comply with duly enacted laws and defies the Congress, in which impeachment hearings would proceed; but other then that, the Republicans in Congress will not proceed with impeachment.
