Rep. Jay Inslee (D-WA) plans to up the ante on the Alberto Gonzales controversy, introducing legislation to begin impeachment proceedings against the embattled Attorney General. The resolution, which will be submitted to Congress tomorrow, reads as follows:

Resolved: That the Committee on the Judiciary shall investigate fully whether sufficient grounds exist for the House of Representatives to impeach Alberto Gonzales for high crimes and misdemeanors.

Vice President Cheney echoed the President's expression of confidence in Gonzales today, calling himself a "big fan" in a radio interview with CBS.
