Gee, they’re willing to leave the troops in Iraq for their successors. A little inconsistent, aren’t they?

the idea to initiate impeachment through a strongly democratic state legislature was floating around at TPM cafe a few months ago.

The idea being, the nat’l dems would never do it, but in a state like Vermont, the legislature could send articles of impeachment to the US Congress, and as soon as they arrive all other business must be suspended before the issue is resolved and a vote taken.

Rather arcane constitutional law, obviously never used–but what a great idea.

Hey FDL, there’s something to promote!
