Illinois: Impeachment Bombshell

The IL state legislature is preparing to drop a bombshell by utilizing a little known rule of the US House to bring impeachment charges: The IL Genrl Assembly's HJR0125 details 5 specific charges against Bush including 1 that is specified to be a felony. 1 of the interesting pts is that one of the items, the 1 specified as a felony (the NSA was directed by the Pres to spy on American citizens w/o warrant) is not in dispute. That fact should prove an interesting dilemma for a Repub controlled House that clearly is not only loathe to initiate impeachment proceedings, but does not even want to thoroughly investigate any of the 5 items brought up by the IL Assembly as high crimes and/or misdemeanors. Should HJR0125 be passed by the IL Genrl Assembly, the US House will be forced by House Rules to take up the issue of impeachment as a privileged bill, meaning it will take precedence over other House business.
