Will Vermont Impeach George W. Bush?
I'm proud to say that Mr. Taylor guy is my dad!

SNIP
That's right: Will our little state's legislature, sitting under Montpelier's golden dome, impeach the most dangerous, dishonest and incompetent president the United States of America has ever known? The headline, folks, is not a typo.

SNIP
And Jeff Taylor of Clarendon, Vermont, a 63-year-old attorney who has vivid memories of his antiwar protesting during the mid-1960s, told us this week he recently took a close look at Jefferson's Manual. His eyes lit up at the text in Sec. 603:

In the House there are various methods of setting an impeachment in motion: by charges made on the floor on the responsibility of a Member or Delegate; . . . by a resolution dropped in the hopper by a Member and referred to a committee; by a message from the President; by charges transmitted from the legislature of a State or territory or from a grand jury.

Bingo!

"Well, let's have Vermont be the first!" thought Taylor. He decided "to get the ball rolling by starting with the local Democratic committee."

Mind you, with the current crowd occupying the majority in the House and Senate, the dog won't hunt -- but it will send a message.

Or maybe it will hunt in January 2007, when the Democrats take back the House and maybe... just maybe... the Senate.
