History is being made. Are you watching?

Dennis Kucinich is presenting articles of impeachment against the Shrub, via CSPAN.

(he is also setting the stage for Shrub to possibly be tried as a war criminal, if someone were to wish to walk that road....) EtA: yes, the term's been uttered: "could be considered war crimes."

*salutes Representative Kucinich, and all of us who have urged him on via e-mails and phone calls*

EtA2: I've already sent an e-mail, to be forwarded via my own Representative, saying "you go, boy!" Er, in words more appropriate to the situation.

EtA3: This isn't being covered on any of the major media outlets tht I can find.... I wonder if Kucinich pulled this out without advance warning, to take the Republicans by surprise? Or is our news media really that useless?

EtA3: Article 28. Tampering with elections, voter fraud, and corruption of government offices in the investigation thereof. Cousin of the thing that nailed Nixon, and it's all the way down the list at 28....

EtA4: Hidden under the Reuters newstick: http://www.nytimes.com/reuters/washington/politics-usa-politics-impeachment.html
If you support this move, you'd best tell your Congresscritters that, or this will fail, too...

EtA5: Article 31. Katrina, and the abandonment of citizenry's life and property in the face of prior knowledge of the danger then and since then (and the denial and suppresion of knowledge of those dangers).

EtA6: and global warming and the hijacking of legitimate science, yeah. I'm not sure that's technically an impeachable offense, but I'm glad to see it laid on the table.

Elsewhere it's been suggested that Dennis nail the Articles to the White House door a la Martin Luther. I'd so pay money to see that.

EtA7: 9-11. He had warning. And did nothing. Not news. But now bluntly stated on the Floor, and in the Records, and let the blood stain his hands.

EtA8: Will this go anywhere? Probably not. Dogs in the House. Dogs in the Senate, too. But that doesn't mean we should just shrug, or we really will get the government we deserve...and we won't deserve representatives like Kucinich.

Eta9: And now they Adjourn and Consider. And now we see who will do what, and who will get a fire lit under them....

11:58pm: and I am very tired. Bed now. Talk amongst yourselves....
