Rep. Dennis Kucinich has led the fight for impeachment since April 2007, when he defied Speaker Pelosi and courageously introduced 3 Articles of Impeachment (H.Res. 333/799) against Vice President Cheney. On June 10, Kucinich defied Speaker Pelosi again and introduced 35 Articles of Impeachment (H.Res. 1258) against President Bush.

Last night, I did something I seldom do these days. I sat through about 30 minutes of punditry on CNN to get a sense of how the mainstream media is spinning Sen. Obama&#8217;s trip to the Middle East.
One CNN house commentator, David Gergen, with whom I usually agree, said that Obama made [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Fact-Finding Missions", url: "http://blog.pdamerica.org/?p=1980" });</script>]]></description>

I once asked a journalist friend, who had been chained inside the courtroom every single day of the O.J. Simpson trial, the obvious question. “Did he do it?” Or had the LAPD, instead, planted a boatload full of fake “evidence,” in an effort to frame the famous defendant?

There is one more element in the equation that goes into the effort to roll back legal abortion in test cases like South Dakota, and that is how strange it is that an administration that prides itself on a &#8220;free market&#8221; economy, and daily pollutes the environment by deregulating greenhouse gas emissions, [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "De-regulation and choice", url: "http://blog.pdamerica.org/?p=1978" });</script>]]></description>

What&#8217;s happening to women&#8217;s reproductive rights in South Dakota, and how are they getting away with it?
As of Friday, doctors in that state, before performing an abortion, are required, by law, to tell their patient that the procedure will &#8220;terminate the life of a whole, separate, unique living human being.&#8221;
Yes, and that&#8217;s [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "&#8220;Whole and Separate&#8221;", url: "http://blog.pdamerica.org/?p=1977" });</script>]]></description>
