Vermont towns vote to arrest Bush and Cheney

[Matmardigan]

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.

LOL =)

Yeah but imagine that - the Police Officer who has to arrest him, and the Lawyer who is meant to file extradition proceedings if they ever got arrested.

Thinking of their careers flashing in front of their eyes - the pair of them would be shitting bricks

doubt it. neither of those 2 are especially loved "over there" so i'd guess both the cops and the prosecuter would be more then happy to do it

is that before or after the secret service step in to prevent them getting near the president
