When Was The Last Time This Happened?
President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney may want to think twice about any vacation plans in the Green Mountain state, where the voters of Brattleboro today voted to seek an indictment of the president and vice president and arrest them if they show up in town.
[.....]
“Shall the Selectboard instruct the Town Attorney to draft indictments against President Bush and Vice President Cheney for crimes against our Constitution and publish said indictments for consideration by other authorities….
“and shall it be the law of the Town of Brattleboro that the Brattleboro police, pursuant to the above mentioned indictments, arrest and detain George Bush and Richard Cheney in Brattleboro if they are not duly impeached, and prosecuted or extradite them to other authorities that may reasonably contend to prosecute them?”
Bush and Cheney lost, in a landslide.
Another little piece of that legacy he was worried about.

WOW.
That’s amazing. It made my day.
And who in Canada is going to draw up bribery charges for Conservatives implicated by the PM’s admission on audio tape?
Brattleboro already had a law banning Darth Vader impersonators….didn’t they?
There are places in Florida where women can be fined for falling asleep under a hair dryer or arrested for parachuting on Sunday, there are places in Indiana where the citizens are not allowed to go to a movie theatre, or ride in a public streetcar within four hours of eating garlic, in Nebraska a parent can be arrested if his or her child cannot hold back a burp during a church service, in Kentucky you’re sober no matter how much you’ve had to drink unless you “cannot hold onto the ground”, and it’s apparently illegal in Boise (that’s in Idaho isn’t it?) to fish from a giraffe’s back. ……. what’s yer point BB?
Cheney is not so fondly referred to as Darth Vader stateside:
