Two Vermont Towns Approve Bush-Cheney Indictment Articles

BRATTLEBORO, Vt.  —  Voters in two southern Vermont towns passed articles Tuesday calling for the indictment of President Bush and Vice President for violating the Constitution.

More symbolic than substantive, the items sought to have police arrest Bush and Cheney if they ever visit Brattleboro or nearby Marlboro or to extradite them for prosecution elsewhere -- if they're not impeached first.

In Brattleboro, the vote was 2,012 for and 1,795 against. In Marlboro, it was 43 to 25, with three abstentions.

The White House press office didn't immediately respond to a request for comment but promised one later Tuesday. But a spokeswoman for the Republican National Committee denounced the article.

"It appears that the left-wing knows no bounds in their willingness to waste taxpayer dollars to make a futile counterproductive partisan political point," said Blair Latoff. "Town people would be much better served by elected officials who sought to solve problems rather than create them."

That's gonna leave a mark!

Perhaps these idiots should read Article ONE of the US Constitution, §2, clause 5:
Quote
The House of Representatives shall chuse their Speaker and other Officers; and shall have the sole Power of Impeachment.
and
Article ONE, §3, clause 6:
Quote
The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside: And no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two thirds of the Members present.
Knowing what the law is, would have kept them from looking stupid...

One of the major employers of Brattleboro is Brattleboro Retreat. A psychiatric ward. Coincidence?  :-)
