Dave Lindorff, Ray McGovern and Elizabeth de la Varga spoke to large crowds recently in Washington state as a bill approached committee in the state legislature. Check out what Lindorff describes of the torpedoes sent by the DC Dems to sink the mass effort.
At issue is a bill, S8016, submitted in the state’s senate by freshman state Senator Eric Oemig, which would call on the U.S. Congress to initiate impeachment proceedings against President George Bush for high crimes and misdemeanors against the Constitution and the people of the United States and of the State of Washington. ...
The measure, which would take the form of a joint resolution by the two houses of the Washington state legislature, accords with the instructions laid out by Founder Thomas Jefferson, who, in his Manual of the Rules of the House of Representatives laid out state joint resolutions as an alternative route for initiating presidential impeachment proceedings in the House in addition to the more usual route of a member submitting a bill of impeachment.
Lindorff identifies the tinfish as: Sen. Pat Murray and Rep. Jay Inslee, [who] are undermining Jefferson’s carefully designed fail-safe system by pressuring Democratic state legislators to kill Sen. Oemig’s bill.
