Vermont towns vote to arrest Bush and Cheney

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.

If they tried to do this I would gladly cough up for the pay-per-view charge to watch it. Watching Barney Fife demand the S.S. to hand him over, the a$$kicking that would follow. Ahhhh, good stuff...

I wonder what would happen if the FBI and about 5,000 federal marshal’s showed up and took down the names of the voters and arrested them all for treason and shipped them all to GITMO?

Isn't this, technically speaking, a declaration of war against the United States of America?

Stupid liberals, the secret service would kick the crap out of your local L.E. officers and they carry more firepower than your agencies have.

I believe it is, but to be taken seriously people would have to stop laughing long enough to think about it.

Nah! Too harsh. Just throw a barbed wire enclosure around both towns and release the Gitmo detainees in their midst.

Well, when you only have 22 Republicans in the whole town voting it is easy to get results like that I guess....

That’s what I was thinking. Do these morons think the SS would just hand them over?

Perhaps local governments across America should pass resolutions to arrest citizens of these Vermont towns for “crimes against the Constitution”.

for "crimes against our Constitution,"

Apparently the imaginary copy used by a growing mass of American ignoramuses which validates anything they feel at any given time.
