Forums - General - Arrest order for Bush and Cheney

http://www.reuters.com/article/topNews/idUSN0454699420080305

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Voters in two Vermont towns on Tuesday approved a measure that would instruct police to arrest President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney for "crimes against our Constitution," local media reported.

The nonbinding, symbolic measure, passed in Brattleboro and Marlboro in a state known for taking liberal positions on national issues, instructs town police to "extradite them to other authorities that may reasonably contend to prosecute them."

Vermont, home to maple syrup and picture-postcard views, is known for its liberal politics.

State lawmakers have passed nonbinding resolutions to end the war in Iraq and impeach Bush and Cheney, and several towns have also passed resolutions of impeachment. None of them have caught on in Washington.

Bush has never visited the state as president, though he has spent vacations at his family compound in nearby Maine.

Roughly 12,000 people live in Brattleboro, located on the Connecticut River in the state's southeastern corner. Nearby Marlboro has a population of roughly 1,000.

I guess Maine is near by but you have to travel through all of New Hampshire to get to Maine and then for a while in Maine to get to the beach house.

Yeah Vermont isn't exactly nearby. I don't ever go there. Then again, there really isn't much to see in Vermont. I think they got some trees, hippies, mountains, and cows.

You can arrest the King?



Awesome, soon we'll see clips of a shootout with the secret service and the Vermont police. I wonder who will win

this is a hoax the president and vice president are untouchable. Remember Italian Pm Berlusconi he was immuned from prosecution of corruption charges when he was Pm he made it a law that the PM could not be touched. I wonder if the US President is immuned from prosecution if he commits a felony?



Looks like a certain someone needs to stay out of Vermont. (Cheney doesn't need to worry, bullets can't harm him and he'll just strangle anyone who tries to stop him.)

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.

This goes to show that extreme liberalism really is a mental disorder.  Then again, rabid extremism in any form is probably a mental disorder.
