Denouncing DeLay

<snip> House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, who once observed an ethics détente with the Republicans, took questions about the majority leader to the floor this week, abandoning the pretense that the DeLay debate was going to be about individual House members expressing concern about the integrity and reputation of the institution. Now, clearly, it's war, and Pelosi's the general leading the charge. On the same day that DeLay was forced to address what Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer referred to as an "avalanche of allegations" against him, Pelosi introduced a resolution that began:

"Whereas, the Constitution of the United States authorizes the House of Representatives to determine the Rules of its Proceedings, punish its Members for disorderly Behavior, and, with the Concurrence of two thirds, expel a Member."

Expulsion? Truce way over!

As was predictable, however, the resolution failed when it was tabled by a 223-to-194 vote. <snip>

Some nice info, tossed with the rightwing sauce commonly served on corporate media offerings ...

Sounds promising for bringing great television ratings. Cable and network channels take note!
