Tammy Baldwin, Robert Wexler: It's Still On The Table

Well, thank God.

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports the good news coming from Tammy Baldwin's office:

On Dec. 14, I joined with my colleagues on the House Judiciary Committee, Reps. Robert Wexler (D-Fla.) and Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.), in urging Chairman Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.) to conduct hearings on a resolution of impeachment now pending consideration in that committee.
[...]
The call to impeach is one I did not take lightly. But as we said in our letter to Chairman Conyers, the issues are too serious to ignore. We simply cannot discount or overlook numerous, credible allegations of abuse of power by the Bush administration that, if proven, may well constitute high crimes and misdemeanors under our Constitution. To prove this, we must follow the form of the signers of our own Declaration of Independence who wrote, “let Facts be submitted to a candid world.”

The fact is that the Republican-controlled Congress was adamantly against impeachment of Richard Nixon until what was revealed in the investigations made it untenable for them to support Nixon any longer.

The growing petition numbers at WexlerWantsHearings.com, makes the House leadership really nervous. Good. Know what makes the Republicans nervous? The names on that petition. Know what doesn't make them nervous? Those citizens' neutered Representatives. Excepting of course, Robert Wexler, Luis Gutierrez, Tammy Baldwin.
