Vote to refer articles of impeachment to House Judiciary Committee set to happen today at around 4pm ET (UPDATE: HOUSE VOTES TO SEND BILL TO COMMITTEE WHERE IT WILL DIE)
Rep. Dennis Kucinich’s introduction of 35 articles of impeachment on Monday has set the stage for a vote scheduled to take place in the House this afternoon:

I asked that because David Mark at the Politico wrote yesterday about an issue that popped up briefly during Webb’s successful 2006 campaign for Senate against then-incumbent George Allen, and that issue is his fondness for the Confederacy (h/t: James Joyner):
Let’s talk “Big Oil”

Kucinich tries his hand again at starting the impeachment process against Bush
Joseph Palermo at the HuffPo excitedly reports on Kucinich’s latest attempt at laying the groundwork for impeachment against President Bush (via Memeo):

A report issued Thursday by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence on the administration’s pre-war claims about Iraq was used by partisan Democrats to strongly imply that the administration “lied” about the justifications used for the Iraq war. Of course, many Democrats, both in Congress and in the punditocracy, have been claiming for years that the admin “lied” about WMDs, AQ in Iraq, and just about every other piece of intelligence used to justify going to war with Iraq. And now they are using this report as some type of “definitive proof” of it.
