Resolution to push Bush impeachment

Bush Impeachment - The Illinois State Legislature is Preparing to Drop a Bombshell

California Becomes Second State to Introduce Bush Impeachment (And California's resolution, I note, also includes Cheney)

This news, coupled with CNN.com reporting today that Bush's approval has slid to a new low, is interesting news indeed. Especially the part where if Illinois' resolution passes, due to the rule they're invoking, the House will be forced to take up the question of impeachment over all other House business. I am dubious that our current set of Congresscritters would not immediately shoot down such an issue; hell, they're having enough of a time with the notion of censuring Bush, much less impeaching him. But the sheer possibility that this may actually come before Congress cannot be anything less than a huge black eye for the Shrub's already plummeting approval ratings.

Good news, hopefully. It's been gaining momentum.

I'd heard about the towns in Vermont passing resolutions, too. It's too early to call it one way or another yet, but it sure will be interesting to see where this goes over the next few months.

It will probably wind up being only election year posturing, yeah; as I mentioned, I'm dubious that Congress won't just shoot the whole thing down. (This is, of course, assuming that it makes it to Congress in the first place--these resolutions will have to clear their respective state legislatures first.) Between these resolutions and the rumblings in the towns in Vermont, yeah, we've only got a few scattered pebbles here. It's way too early to say whether they'll form an avalanche.

Still, I'm intrigued. And it will be interesting to watch.
