In this video Kucinich explains that there will be, in lieu of an actual vote on the resolution, a motion to table the resolution thereby forcing members of the House of Representatives to go on record opposing Cheney’s impeachment (if they vote for tabling the resolution).

Article by missy on November 1st, 2007 at 3:32 pm The man needs professional help – he seems to think he’s William Wallace: [T]his concept of stability has — in other words, that foreign policy ought to promote stability as opposed to freedom has led to dangers, and that the only way to solve America’s long-term security needs is to remember that the enemy that we face can only recruit when there’s hopelessness and despair; and [...]
