Rep. Jay Inslee to introduce impeachment resolution?

The "series of tubes" is starting to chatter a little bit about reports that Rep. Jay Inslee (D-WA) will be introducing a resolution calling for the impeachment of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales tomorrow.  We'll let you know when we hear more.

UPDATE: The text of the resolution, courtesy of MSNBC:

RESOLUTION

Directing the Committee on the Judiciary to investigate whether Alberto R. Gonzales, Attorney General of the United States, should be impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors.

1 Resolved, That the Committee on the Judiciary shall
2 investigate fully whether sufficient grounds exist for the
3 House of Representatives to impeach Alberto R. Gonzales,
4 Attorney General of the United States, for high crimes
5 and misdemeanors.

Also, though the resolution is sponsored by Rep. Inslee, it reportedly is coming from a "group of House Democrats."

UPDATE #2: Think Progress has video.
