I didn't know this until I saw the <br>interview on C-SPAN (Washington Journal) this morning with the Editor of <br>"The Hill." He explained it, but unfortunately I didn't give it my full <br>attention. It has something to do with the way Kucinich introduced the <br>bill using a special prioritization procedure that enabled him to bypass <br>normal channels. I think he did this to bypass Pelosi, but I couldn't say <br>for sure. Anyway, I think the source is reliable. If you want to see it <br>for yourself, I think C-SPAN repeats Washington Journal at some point <br>during the day. The interview was the very first part of the show this <br>morning that aired at 6:00am Central Time.<br><br>Cheers,<br>Robin<br><br>-----Original Message-----<br>From:

I'm no scholar of congressional procedure but <br>I think a bill has to go to committee and be voted out of it, meaning a <br>majority of the committee(s) has to approve it before it goes to the floor <br>of the House. Maybe there's a committee vote today? I'm skeptical of that <br>too,though, since one of the means of blocking any impeachment effort has <br>been to refuse to set up committee hearings. But like I said, I don't <br>follow all that down to the nits and grits so maybe someone else can find <br>out what's going on here....<br><br>Jay<br><br>Declare It Now!
