Cohen calls for Cheney's removal

WASHINGTON -- Before returning to Memphis on Sunday after a weekend House session, Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn., signed on as a co-sponsor of bills to impeach Vice President Dick Cheney and to censure both Cheney and President Bush.

The impeachment resolution was introduced by Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, in April and has 18 mostly liberal Democratic co-sponsors, including the four it picked up in the last week. No other Mid-South representative has signed on to the measure.


In a telephone interview from Memphis on Monday, Cohen said he and his staff are working with former Reagan Justice Department lawyer Bruce Fein to draw up articles of impeachment against Atty. Gen. Alberto Gonzales. The conservative Fein has advocated impeaching Cheney for, he said, initiating kidnappings and secret detentions and advocating the ongoing domestic warrantless wiretapping program.

"I just think that with what I've seen in these first seven months is that there's been so much disregard for the Constitution by the administration," said Cohen. "I've seen it firsthand on the Judiciary Committee with General Gonzales."
