REPUBLICANS ERUPT AS NADLER SUDDENLY POSTPONES IMPEACHMENT VOTE NEAR MIDNIGHT"Today is a solemn and sad day," Chairman Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., told reporters after the vote. "For the third time in a little over a century and a half, the House Judiciary Committee has voted articles of impeachment against the president -- for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. After the vote, the White House released a scathing statement, dismissing the inquiry as a "charade." "This desperate charade of an impeachment inquiry in the House Judiciary Committee has reached its shameful end," White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham said. But on Friday, the committee moved hastily through proceedings, taking less than 15 minutes to vote on the articles of impeachment.
