[Vision2020] Impeach Cheney?

[Donovan Arnold]

The bill isn't taken seriously because it was written by Dennis Kucinich. If Democrats were going to seriously impeach Cheney they would have others involved at the leadership level. 
   
  I would support the removal of Cheney and Bush. But we need a decent person to replace them first.
   
  IMHO, there are only two types of politicians, those that have committed crimes against the people and those that haven't yet. 
   
  Best,

  I haven't seen this talked about much, but there is a bill (HRES 333) 
before the House that calls for the impeachment of VP Dick Cheney for 
"high crimes and misdemeanors". The bill is sponsored by Rep. Dennis 
Kucinich, D-Ohio, was launched on Tuesday. Here are some news stories 
on the bill:

You can also go to: http://thomas.loc.gov/ and search for HRes 333 by 
Bill Number to read the actual text of the bill.

I'm not sure I agree with it, from a legal standpoint, because the major 
areas that are covered probably aren't even illegal. I don't know how 
impeachment works and I don't know if the actions necessarily have to be 
illegal or not. Was anything Hitler did a crime in Germany? Anyway, he 
is accused of lying to the public and to Congress about WMDs, knowing 
before-hand that there weren't any, and for saber-rattling against 
Iran. I disagree with his doing all of that, but I don't know that he 
should be impeached for it. Maybe for making torture ok, taking away 
habeus corpus, warrent-less wiretaps, and other things that I would 
assume are crimes.

It sounds like there isn't much backing for this. Has anyone run into 
this in the news? I found a couple of news sites using Google, but 
didn't find anything on the MSNBC, CNN, or Fox News websites directly 
about this. Maybe it was featured on Tuesday?
