Congressman Jerrold Nadler has introduced H.RES 1531 , a resolution "Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the President of the United States should not issue pardons to senior members of his administration during the final 90 days of his term of office." 

Although this resolution may be a step toward preventing President Bush from leaving office absolved of any responsibility for the actions of his administration, those who have been urging for so long that Congressman Nadler open impeachment hearings, believe that whatever the merits of  H.RES1531, impeachment hearings are the only way Congress has to prevent Bush from issuing these pardons. 

On Thursday, December 4, at 6:00 p.m., Congressman Nadler will be appearing on a panel with Scott Horton, Elizabeth Holtzman, Burt Neuborne, Michael Ratner, and Antonia Taguba, at an event titled "After Torture: A Harpers' Magazine Forum on justice in the post-Bush era."  

There remains a strong belief, that impeachment hearings were and are still the remedy "in response to President Bush’s widespread abuses of power and potentially criminal transgressions against our Constitution."  (quoted from H.RES 1531)
