He's been threatening it for a while, and finally Congressman Dennis Kucinich took the first step toward impeaching Vice President Dick Cheney. Now while I have had mixed thoughts on this for a while (more on impeachment is a political trial not necessarily a criminal trial, thus conviction would probably be unlikely, if not impossible), Cheney's actions today displayed it was time. But we all know Cheney and Bush are scum, their illegal actions are well documented, and sooner or later someone had to take the step.
And not surprisingly its the one with more gumption than most of the members of Congress...Kucinich.
So why has no one else cosigned onto this resolution? Is it poorly written, or do you have some other reason?

From CNN.com:

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Ohio Rep. Dennis Kucinich introduced articles to impeach Vice President Dick Cheney Tuesday, basing his decision on Cheney's initial push to send the United States into war with Iraq.

"The vice president is beating the same drums of war against Iran that he beat against Iraq under false pretenses, and he's doing it all over again, against Iran," Kucinich said. "And I say that it's time to stand up to that. Our country couldn't afford this last war. We can't afford to go into another one. And somebody has to challenge the conduct of this Vice President."

Kucinich introduced three articles of impeachment before giving a press conference on Capitol Hill. He said Cheney fabricated the threat of weapons of mass destruction to justify going to war with Iraq, made up a connection between the Iraqi government and Al Qaeda and that he is threatening war against Iran, which he said violates the Constitution.

The Democratic presidential candidate said he decided to go after the vice president first for practical reasons. He said if Congress impeaches the president, then Cheney would take his place. He said he didn't think the country could handle two consecutive impeachments.

Currently, no other House members have signed on as cosponsors of his action. Kucinich denied that this is a political stunt and said he thinks Congress needs to stand up to the administration.

So who else has the courage to start the ball moving on this? Is there one Congressman out there with the backbone to stand with Kucinich and not Cheney?
