Impeachment of Bush and Cheney Appears to Inch Forward

The impeachment of Bush and Cheney may be closer than we think. A most interesting web post is at the link found below. The rules of the House of Representatives, says this post, allow for a resolution from a state legislature to place the matter of impeachment before the House. If the report referenced below is correct the legislature of the state of Washington may be close to such a resolution. C.I.A. veteran Ray McGovern and former federal prosecutor Elizabeth de la Vega are quoted. The article says that de la Vega charges "the Bush administration has in essence been a criminal syndicate defrauding the American public on a scale far worse than Enron."

I have long said I supported the opening of an impeachment inquiry in the House of Representatives. While Speaker Pelosi may have taken an accurate head count and realized that at that time there was no way the Republicans would vote to convict in the Senate, grassroots efforts such as those described here may indeed lead to a groundswell. Only time will tell.
