I'm confused, John...
On the one hand your previous posts call on us to support Kucinich and his resolutions prior to their reading, and now you slam the man who had the balls to do what nobody else did. These bills always go to committee before a vote... that's the process, and you're right, they're going to be buried. The action was symbolic, which at this late date was all it could ever be. Then you slam the Dems because they actually did something, ineffective as it may be, and was probably calculated to be that way. You didn't get it the way you wanted it. That's the way things go in Washington.

It will take lots of pressure on our Colorado Congressmen to make them defend Our Constitution

The Bush Impeachment Resolution H Res 1258 was refered to the Judiciary Committee today. Nearly all Democrats voted for it to be buried in the Committee.
I find it very strange that an experienced legislator like Kucinich would not call for a vote on floor debate first (as he did with the Cheney Resolution), as opposed to instead calling for a vote to refer the measure directly to committee where he knows that no action will probably be taken, ever.
It is my belief that Kucinich was allowed to introduce the measure by Pelosi with the requirement ( or expectation) that the only vote would be one referring it to committee, which would then allow all House Democrats to claim they voted to study the resolution rather than vote to kill it. It is a smoke screen to make it plain to the voters and the media that the
impeachment issue is dead for good.
Once again the House Democrats prove they are not worthy to call themselves patriots.
The only way to get the House Democrats to honor their oath and protect the Constitution is to make them fear losing their jobs. Of course some of us don't have the willingness and courage to make that happen.
