If CSPAN does a view of the chamber, I am quite sure there is no one else there. Or, very few.

I go to another forum and all they are talking about is this!
And again me without cable.

I think Linnea is right, and that there is practically noone else there now in the chamber.

That doesn't change the fact that he's speaking, and that he is actually introducing articles of impeachment.

Exactly right, Bill. Thank God we still have CSPAN! Sorry you can't listen in, Penny Lane. There will be transcripts available later.

This makes one feel much better about being an American.

This makes me want to weep. Much of this we are already aware of, but the actual resolution for articles of impeachment being presented in the chambers of congress, by this extraordinary man - is an act of courage and of love.

Remember what happened when he introduced articles of impeachment on Cheney last year? The Repubs voted to back Kucinich to force a vote on the floor.

We should all write our congresscreeps (and Pelosi!) tonight and urge them to back Kucinich in this and his Cheney articles too. Probably won't help but it will let them all know we're watching.

Those articles he brought against Cheney last year are still sitting in committee. Steny Hoyer will never let them get out of committee and unfortunately these will go to the same place. But at least they are entered into the record of the Congress.

From Huff Post:

"The breadth and length of Kucinich's articles are astonishing. They sum up Bush's evil reign succinctly and to hear them recited been said on the floor of Congress makes me wonder how American could have possibly put up with this despotic murderer and thief for so long.

He should be impeached and removed. He won't be. I can understand why the current Democratic leadership, in its myopic lack of vision takes what they think is the safe political stance. I also understand that they don't want to distract the electorate during an election.

But 75% of the American public thinks he's a rotten president and a large percentage of that public think he's the worst president in American history.

I don't think we should shut up about that.

Bush should not be able to just leave office and slink on back to Texas or Kuwait or wherever he's going to end up and live off the millions made from the blood of American soldiers."

The entire transcript will be available on Huff Post later.
