John Conyers: I Need 3 More Congressmen to Start Impeachment Proceedings...
John Conyers (D-eranged) is quoted as saying, if he can get three more members of Congress on the impeachment bandwagon he'll move on it. And yes, I think he is serious...
House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers has said that if three more Congress Members get behind impeachment he will start the impeachment proceedings.
was a guest today on Bree Walker's radio show. She's the progressive radio host from California who purchased Cindy Sheehan's land from her in Crawford, Texas.
In January, Conyers spoke at a huge rally on the National Mall and declared "We can fire them!" but later explained that what he meant was that we could wait for two years and Bush and Cheney's terms would end. Was this week's remark just more empty rhetoric?
It appears to be more than that. Bree Walker told me, on the air, that Conyers said that all he needs is three more Congress Members backing impeachment, and he'll move on it, even without Pelosi. I asked whether that meant specifically moving from 14 cosponsors of H Res 333 to 17, or adding 3 to the larger number of Congress Members who have spoken favorably of impeachment but not all signed onto bills. Bree said she didn't know and that Conyers had declined to take any questions.

Okay, now i'm confronted with a dilemma. I've always used Senator Teddy "WhatBridge?" Kennedy as my poster boy for Congressional Term Limits but now, with John Conyers....i'm torn!

Conyers is making a strong push for the title. Fat Teddy isn't going to give it up without a fight though...
