The Belfast Telegraph is the first source that's come to my attention that actually lists the 35 Articles of Impeachment submitted by the Gentleman from Ohio.

Ready for this? Here we go...

I wonder how far any of this is going to go. I'm still not seeing this story showing up on any major news sites. I'm thinking of contacting the CBC and asking them about it. :3

Honey - why is this behind a cut tag? If anything ever deserved to NOT be behind a cut tag, it's this. ;P

*snugz*

I expect it'll be ignored the same way all other impeachment efforts have been ignored. I'd kinda hope The Daily Show gives it a mention, but I'm not sure they will given their limited time, and what little potential there is for humor in this.

Because, Fire of my Heart, it's INSANELY LONG.

*smooch*

But on your advice, I'll uncut it.

Danke. And as soon as you find the actual full text, we are replacing our webpages with it. :)

I actually agree with you here, but I think your wife has the veto.

Most interesting..I wonder who decides which Words rate Capital Letters ? Of course, I doubt this has a snowball's chance in Hell of even getting a look-in. There's way too many other "important people"..of ALL political persuasions involved up to their necks to let this see the light of day

Well, you should just look in the Congressional Record.

Privileged Resolution--Intent to Offer: Representative Kucinich announced his intention to offer a privileged resolution.
http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/R?r110:FLD001:H55088-H55107

There is no actual resolution introduced at this point. (Nothing with a HR number).
