Yesterday, Rep. Gwen Moore (D-WI) and Rep. Nydia Velazquez (D-NY) became the latest members of Congress to sign on as co-sponsors of the controversial bill calling for an investigation of possible grounds for impeachment of President George W. Bush.
House Resolution #635, introduced in December by Rep. John Conyers (D-MI), now has 24 co-sponsors, including St. Louis' own William Clay, Jr. who signed on two weeks ago.
The bill calls for creating a 20-member select committee to investigate the Administration's intent to go to war before congressional authorization, manipulation of pre-war intelligence, encouraging and countenancing torture, retaliating against critics, and to make recommendations regarding grounds for possible impeachment.
The bill was referred to the House Committee on Rules in December. Congressional watchers way it is very unlikely that it will make it out of committee in this Republican-controlled Congress.

So, where's Russ Carnahan, the pro-war, pro-Patriot Act 3rd District congressman on this one?
