News flash at the Drudge Report: a group of liberal attorneys led by John Conyers and Ramsey Clark is drafting articles of impeachment against President Bush.

House Judiciary ranking member John Conyers (D-Mich.) assembled more than two-dozen prominent liberal attorneys and legal scholars on Tuesday to mull over articles of impeachment drafted against President Bush by activists seeking to block military action against Saddam Hussein.The two-hour session, which featured former attorney general-turned-activist Ramsey Clark, took place in the downtown office of a prominent Washington tort lawyer. Participants said Conyers, who hosted the meeting, was the only Member of Congress to attend. ‘We had a pretty frank discussion about putting in a bill of impeachment against President Bush,’ said Francis Boyle, an Illinois law professor who has been working on the impeachment language with Clark.
