Wexler Speech On House Floor For Cheney Impeachment Hearings - C-Span (QUOTES)
Edited on Tue Jan-15-08 08:38 PM by Hissyspit
D-Florida, 19th District (Quotes were transcribed rather quickly.)

"Did the VP manipulate intelligence to push this country into war?
Did the VP unmask a CIA agent for political purposes?
This administration has undermined checks and balances by ignoring subpoenas, claiming unprecedented executive privilege..."

"In this time and at this moment Congress must stand for the truth. History may well find Congress complicit. A growing chorus of Americans are calling for impeachment."

"I launched a website - the people responded en masse... names I now hold in my hand. These frustrated and angry Americans share one cause..."

"Tomorrow I will deliver these names (to the committee) with a letter to Chairman Conyers and call for my fellow congressmen to sign the letter..."

"The true gravity of the case against the VP appears in it's devastating clarity!"

Delivered in urgent and forceful voice. Followed by some applause from the House Gallery.

27. The White Rabbit? Once in a rose garden, actors were practicing Alice in Wonderland in costume.
A real white rabbit showed up. It was an unusual moment.
