By the way, Erica--Erica, are you listening?--Adam Kline proposed that the 37th District Democrats (E. and S.E. Seattle) pass a resolution against rebuilding the viaduct. The resolution passed.

"President Richard Cheney"

Read Oemig's Reso. (which I posted in full earlier today on Slog)

Cheney is named too.

I'm disappointed that Josh Feit didn't take the time to see through the usual inane arguments for avoiding investigations and impeachment. The question Legislators in Washington State need to ask themselves now is; "Are the allegations of misconduct by the President and Vice President serious enough to warrant investigations?" If they adopt this resolution to investigate, then the Washington State Legislature sends it to the floor of the House of Representatives as a privileged item. It could be accomplished in less than an afternoon and never have to cross their desks again. The rest of the work is up to Congress.

Even in Congress the job is not too onerous. A committee would be selected to investigate, and the regular work of Congress would carry on as usual. Impeachment does not require proof of guilt. That comes after impeachment when the Senate holds a trial. All that is needed for impeachment is sufficient evidence to file charges. The evidence of guilt are overwhelming and well documented.

As Senator Oemig points out, people in government are multi-taskers. They go from meeting to meeting prepared to take on wide ranging issues such as transportation, child health care and port security in a single afternoon. Adding impeachment to the mix isn't going to make anybody blow a circuit.

Impeachment is about government being accountable to the people and restoring rule of law in this country. I'm glad that we are represented by a growing number of Legislators in this state who believe that we need to call a stop to abuse of Executive powers before it chokes the life out of Democracy. Let the world know that Democracy lives in Washington State!

Someone needs to take a stand not just against the war but against the way the government and this country is moving. Someone needs to speak, and put their foot down, and future Bushes and Cheneys need to know that there is still some accountability. I will go so far as to say that our nation as a whole needs this, desperately.

Jay Inslee is NOT even doing much to get out of Iraq, and even if he did, his commitment to the miltary industry in WA is no less than Cantwell and Murray. There will be another invasion, another cataclysm, within a few years.

There is NOTHING in the Democratic legislative agenda more important than curbing the military industrial congressional complex. In our state that's called, the Military Cantwellian, Murrayan, Insleean Complex.

IMPEACH! NOW! IMPEACH! NOW! IMPEACH! NOW!

We are impeaching to bring the troops home!

As far as Iran is concerned, we are asking for a preemptive impeachment. Bush should have been impeached in 2003 before the second invasion. This war must end before we cross the Rubicon and the only thing left to save is our skins.

There will not be an opportunity like this again to take the power away from a mad administration. Elections will not end the madness the war on terror brings, political will can.

These people singed? What is singed?

It was my understanding they signed on to my senator's (Eric Oemig's) resolution to impeach!
The Crown Prince anointed by the Supremes - he and Cheney need to be investigated. No President should think he can do anything he wants to do with no regard for Constitutional rights.
