At several points in Friday’s Judiciary Committee sort-of-almost-not-really impeachment hearing, members of the audience erupted in applause after one of the dozen-plus witnesses delivered a particularly incendiary indictment of President Bush.
The committee’s Republicans were none too amused by these displays, and they whined several times that such outbursts were inappropriate. Rep. Lamar Smith (R-TX), the committee’s ranking member, at one point asked Chairman John Conyers to clear the hearing room after one particularly rousing ovation from Code Pink activists. They were responding as author Vincent Bugliosi outlined his case that the Justice Department should bring first degree murder charges against the president for illegally invading Iraq.
Conyers decided not to boot the boisterous activists from the room, but he did remind the entire audience to refrain from any demonstrations of approval or disapproval of the proceedings. Less than an hour later, Bugliosi, a former Los Angeles County prosecutor who recently wrote The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder, fired up the crowd again.
“By taking this nation into war on a lie, all of the killings of American soldiers in Iraq became unlawful killings, and therefore murders,” Bugliosi said.
Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan had been sitting in the crowd, and she shouted, “Thank you Vince.”
Conyers seemed flustered, reminding Sheehan and others that some “members are urging me to take more action than merely reminding our audience,” before trying to move on to the next witness.
“I urge you to take action,” said Sheehan, who is among the most visible activists pushing for impeachment. After losing her son in the Iraq war, Sheehan became famous for her roadside vigil outside Bush’s Crawford ranch in the summer of 2005, and she has mounted a long-shot bid to unseat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in this year’s election.
“OK then, Sheehan, you’re out,” Conyers said, but the northern California native was already on her way out the door.
“I’m going,” she said. “Good-bye.”

And this is a good question:
"Why didn't Ron Paul participate in this Conyers' impeachment
Republican Congressman Walter 'Freedom Fries' Jones courageously participated in Congressman John Conyers impeachment hearing (which is currently airing on C-SPAN and more than likely will repeat later as well on C-SPAN/C-SPAN 2) as did former Congressman Bob Barr, but why didn't Ron Paul? Was he not invited, or did he refuse to participate? If he was invited and refused to participate, I would like to know why. If he was not invited, I would like to know why as well."
Yeah, me, too!
