Make Way for Democracy
Step aside, Nancy. Vermont may be bringing Democracy to the table:
Under Thomas Jefferson’s Manual for Rules of the House, such a joint resolution, should it pass, is an alternative route to impeachment, and would require the House Judiciary Committee to initiate an impeachment hearing to determine whether grounds for impeachment of the president and vice president exist. It would no longer be possible, in other words, for Speaker Pelosi to continue blocking impeachment and intimidating representatives from filing impeachment bills.

You know you just can't push Vermont around. Look at what happened to the GOP when they tried to muscle Jefford's constituents.

Check out the LA Times article that says the Office of Special Counsel has opened an investigation into Karl Rove's activities in the administration.

Vermont could be the first pebble that starts rippling outward until the dam finally bursts. The news gets more and more damning everyday, so maybe it's time.
By the way, do I owe your state sales tax or something simply because I drop in on your blog? I had two visits from the Massachusetts Dept of Revenue today! Of course, it's possible they just confused MI with MASS when they did a google search!

Don't think so, Kathy. You must have a fan who works there - and who's reading your blog on MY dime.
Hey - you. Stop that and get back to work.
