Today Congress is holding a hearing to discuss the issue of impeaching President Bush and Vice President Cheney. Granted, it's not an actual impeachment -- yet -- but talk about impeachment. Follow that? Either way, it should have come sooner.
Via CBSnews.com:
A boisterous crowd has already gathered for today's hearing in the House Judiciary Committee on the case for impeaching President Bush and Vice President Cheney.Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) has been leading the charge on the issue, and although Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers (D-Mich.) have said there will be no formal impeachment hearings, they've given Kucinich and his allies a session today to make the case.
There are at least 100 people on line to attend the hearing, and the committee has announced that there will be two "overflow" rooms to accommodate everyone who wants to watch the proceedings.
The crowd is definitely in a festive mood, and appears to be a merging of the anti-Iraq war and Bush-hater crowds, if they aren't already one body anyway.
But the Capitol Police aren't expect a lot of problems during today's session. "This is a happy crowd," once Capitol Police officer told another as they discussed arrangements for the hearing. "They love what is happening here so it shouldn't be too bad."

President Bush is a HERO! and should be applauded and will be remember like Ronald Reagan is for defeating against the odds a crazy and determined enemy. I remember that the Dumacrats at the time thought that Reagan should rely on diplomacy instead of an aggressive stance with the communists. When will libs wake up to the fact that you cannot reason with those who seek to destroy you. George Washington understood this! Read and learn your history.

If Congress didn't impeach Clinton two years before the end of his term for committing perjury, of which he was convicted in federal court, they won't impeach Bush 6 months before the end of his term for questionable "war crimes." Sorry Bush haters, keep wet dreaming.
Actually James L., Clinton was impeached by the House of Representatives and acquitted by the Senate.
Clinton wasn't impeached by the House. His impeachment was approved by the House and not by the Senate, thus no impeachment.
