Apologies for the short diary, but no open thread available, and as this was such a prominent issue in the last few days that got everyone so worked up, I wanted to post on it here.
As of yesterday, Rep Ellen Tauscher (CA-10) is one of 20 co-sponsors to Jay Inslee's bill, H.RES.589 recommending impeachment of Alberto Gonzales.
To put this in perspective, she is one of the first co-sponsors of this bill. Based on that, I suspect that someone in her office screwed up on the "unimpeachable office" quote. For all the brickbats thrown at Rep Tauscher on this, there should be an equal number of kudos and thank yous. She did the right thing here and should be recognized for doing so.
If you are a constituent, please write her and thank her. Or, if you are not, call her office via the Congressional switchboard 866-808-0065 and thank her. Remember the carrots as well as the sticks.
And since there are currently only 20 co-sponsors, that makes it more than likely that your Representative is not yet a co-sponsor. So get on the phone, and get them on-board. Thanks!
