Representative Dennis Kucinich has apparently told a blogger conference call that he’ll raise the issue of impeachment on the floor of the House of Representatives — through a point of personal privilege:
Support is already building in the fever swamp left to make sure this measure gets traction:
A point of personal privilege relates to an offense against the dignity, integrity, or reputation of the House. Kucinich will presumably rise to argue that the failure to bring articles of impeachment against Cheney is a stain on the institution. It will be up to the Speaker to rule whether Kucinich’s argument is valid, and rule on whether he may speak on his point. House rules don’t provide for a vote on Kucinich’s impeachment resolution, merely a chance for him (and others) to make the argument. Will Speaker Pelosi and the Democratic leadership allow Mr. Kucinich and other impeachment supporters to make their case, or force them to stay silent?
