・・・ E.D HILL, HOST: Dennis Kucinich is back. He is still pushing for a Bush impeachment. And this time, he is getting more encouragement than he did last time around. The former Democratic presidential candidate and Ohio Congressman is getting some surprising encouragement on the impeachment resolution from Nancy Pelosi today.

CRAWFORD, Texas -- Cindy Sheehan, the slain soldier's mother whose attacks on President Bush made her a darling of the anti-war movement, has a new target: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. テキサス州クロフォード -- シンディ・シーハンさんは、ブッシュ大統領への攻撃で反戦 運動の象徴的人物となった戦死兵士の母親だが、この度新たな目標をナンシー・ペロシ 下院議長に定めた。
Sheehan, who announced in late May that she was departing the peace movement, said she decided to run against Pelosi unless the congresswoman moves to oust Bush in the next two weeks. シーハンさんは、5月下旬に平和運動から離脱すると表明していたが、もし（ペロシ）議員 が今後2週間でブッシュ（大統領）追放に向けて動き出さなければ、ペロシ氏の対立候補 として立つ決意だと、述べた。

The Nation -- Impeachment is on the table. But Congress is not allowed to bite.
The House Judiciary Committee will hold a hearing on one of Ohio Congressman Dennis Kucinich's 35 articles of impeachment against President Bush.

The Judiciary Committee will hold a hearing on the president's abuses of power -- perhaps as soon as next week. Expert witnesses will be called. Kucinich says that a foreign official -- who he has not named -- is willing to testify regarding presidential wrongdoing. And Judiciary Committee chair John Conyers, the veteran Michigan Democrat who actually believes in presidential accountability but has had a hard time getting other top Democrats to embrace that belief, suggests that the hearing will review evidence of "all the (Bush administration actions) that constitute an imperial presidency." ・・・
