9. They're supposed to go through hearings.

16. They should be public. I guess we'll have to see when it is put on the calendar for hearings.
I think hearings should begin immediately.

13. Did you see where one Dem voted Present and then all of a sudden
Edited on Tue Jul-15-08 05:38 PM by redstate_democrat
that vote isn't in the present column anymore? He or she must have changed the vote to yes after seeing that even some Republicans voted yes.

STRAIGHT UP COWARD!

Edited: There were 2 Dems who voted no, but then now it just changed for 2 Dems for No to only 1 Dem for no.

Hmmm.

31. The House Judiciary Committee votes
From Wikipedia:

The House Committee on the Judiciary, by majority vote, will determine whether grounds for impeachment exist. If the Committee finds grounds for impeachment they will set forth specific allegations of misconduct in one or more "articles of impeachment." The Impeachment Resolution, or Article(s) of Impeachment, are then reported to the full House with the committee's recommendations.
