Congratulations to Dennis Kucinich !
Yes, it's good news, but his resolution was sent to the Judiciary Committee *six months ago*, and you're just hearing about it now, from my post. A lot of the lefty blogs mentioned it at the time, but I don't recall seeing anything about it in the mainstream media. And Wexler's op-ed written with Reps. Tammy Baldwin and Luis Gutierrez hasn't been accepted for publication by any of the big newspapers they sent it to. The mainstream media, in other words, doesn't want to cover anything about impeaching this administration. Somehow we have to make them start paying attention to the fact that there's an increasingly large movement in that direction.
