This isn’t exactly new, but it is worth repeating. Last week voters in the Vermont towns of Battleboro and Marlboro passed articles calling for President Bush and Vice President Cheney to be arrested for violating the constitution. This follows several non-binding resolutions to end the war in Iraq and impeach Bush and Cheney.
While this certainly makes a point that resonates with many Americans, its difficult to imagine that the President, or anyone in his administration would let a town sheriff take Bush or Cheney into custody. Last December, when the towns were petitioning for the legislation, the Vermont Attorney General, William Sorrell, whose office has sued the Bush administration over environmental issues, stated that the move is “of very dubious legality.” As far as I know the White House has not responded to the charge, and why on earth would they?
