Third state jumps on the impeachment bandwagon. And this might stick!
 

Interesting:

------------------------
The Illinois General Assembly is about to rock the nation. Members of state legislatures are normally not considered as having the ability to decide issues with a massive impact to the nation as a whole. Representative Karen A. Yarbrough of Illinois' 7th District is about to shatter that perception forever. Representative Yarbrough stumbled on a little known and never utlitized rule of the US House of Representatives, Section 603 of Jefferson's Manual of the Rules of the United States House of Representatives, which allows federal impeachment proceedings to be initiated by joint resolution of a state legislature. From there, Illinois House Joint Resolution 125 (hereafter to be referred to as HJR0125) was born.

It's impressive that Jefferson foresaw a situation where one party controlled all three branches, and created the ability for a state to initiate impeachment.

we can only hope!

Yep, I'm so glad my state is wasting its time and my tax dollars with this.

Wow, a hard left Democrat bringing this...I'm shocked. Really.

means nothing unless it passes in IL, or in CA. but if it does... :eek:

As long as Bush continues to provide the effective leadership he's shown to this point we may well have a Democtratic Congress after the fall elections that could perform this service to the country via the front door rather than the back.

This is the Dems in my state just trying to create a diversion for the financial mess they have created. Nothing more.

Jefferson.................my main man.:D

Yea, we all know it's a "hard left" position to not want to be spied on by your own government in violation of the Constitution.

One of the interesting points is that one of the items, the one specified as a felony, that the NSA was directed by the President to spy on American citizens without warrant, is not in dispute.

What is wrong with people? Wasn't the Clinton spectacle enough for one generation? When are the calmer Gen X or Y people going to be able to get into the ranks? Do we really want to live life like on a tiny, Caribbean island with a junta every year? Is that really in our best interest? I think it is clear that Bush is in way over his head - that, in Mark Twain's words "we could throw a rock in any direction and hit someone more able" - but, come on folks, his presidency isn't the end of the world - and it's almost over.

Nothing in the Constitution about forbidding listening in on phone calls to suspected foreign enemies.

Tech...check.
K911...check.
Jim...check.
Rodeo...check.

At this point, I want the Dems in power so they can show us the way. They couldn't f-it up any worse could they?

check

money order

Convenient how you always leave out the "without a warrant" part.

Also interesting how you answer the question that a warrant application answers ... is it a call with a "foreign enemy?"

I will not surrender my 4th amendment rights to this president or any president.

Your word and rhetoric games are transparant and wrong.

like dubya and his cronies are not doing this a a fedral level? open up your eyes a little to see whats up

Ok, WITHOUT A WARRANT. Happy now? The President has every legal right to do what's necessary to protect the United States, and warrantless eavesdropping of communications into and outside of the country are completely legal and legitimate.

By the way, the Illinois General Assembly is not about to 'rock the nation'. This is all a stunt made by a Cook County democrat who's been suffering from Bush Derangement Syndrome for years. Time for Illinois downstaters to propose legislation to kick Cook County out of the state.

Two words why the measure will never succeed, even if they wait until after the mid-term elections:

"President Cheney"

The one smart thing Bush has done in his entire administration was taking a lesson from his dad - always pick a #2 guy that's an even bigger ass than you are. Cheapest life insurance policy you could ever ask for. Remember Quayl(e)? So at least W learned SOMETHING from daddy.
