Cheney Impeachment- On the Table?

I spent my afternoon glued to C-SPAN watching the House debate the resolution brought by Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) that calls for the impeachment of Vice President Dick Cheney. Needless to say, it was full of drama and theater and made for a good afternoon of watching politics in action. As The Nation reported,

"The move by Ohio Congressman Dennis Kucinich to open a debate on the question of whether to impeach Vice President Cheney turned into a imbroglio for the Democratic leadership of the House Tuesday as mischievous Republicans joined dozens of Democrats in rejecting a move to table the resolution."

Rep. Steny Hoyer, once the resolution was introduced, immediately called for a vote to table the resolution which failed. He then wanted to vote to send it to the Judiciary Committee where it will die be considered. That motion passed. Now we must wait and see if Rep. John Conyers will act or will Pelosi and her "impeachment is off the table" act prevail.
