News From New Mexico

On February 16, 2007 the Rules Committee of the New Mexico Senate met to debate and vote on Senate Joint Resolution 5, petitioning congress to commence the investigation of and impeachment proceedings against President George W. Bush and Vice President Richard B. Cheney.

Unfortunately, there was no debate since the Republicans on the Committee boycotted the meeting. But would you have shown up if you were a Republican? The President's record is impossible to defend. I guess they felt it better to simply consent by their silence.

The resolution has passed the first step, and will now go to the full Senate for debate and a vote.
