War protesters interrupt WA Senate debate, Associated Press- A small group of Iraq war protesters interrupted Senate floor debate Tuesday night, standing up one by one in the public gallery, flashing the peace sign and calling for the war to end. … The 10 protesters were peacefully removed from the gallery by security and went down to the Rotunda, where they sat down and held up their hands in the peace sign. Kenna Stout, an 18-year-old freshman at The Evergreen State College, said the demonstrators wanted to let lawmakers know how they feel about the war, and wanted to show support for Sen.

The Washington impeachment bill (and therefore justice) is being obstructed by Democratic members of the U.S. House (see our previous report on this).
One problem with your solution, Matthew. Criminal prosecution isn’t an option for thhe president in our system until impeachment has occured.
Impeachment is not the answer.This man that claims to be our “Elected President”should be arrested along with the rest of the wrecking crew and frogmarched out of the WH in front of international television.This is the only thing i’ll be satisfied with.
Let’s hope the 10 don’t disappear…
George Bush wants to create the new criminal of “disruptor” who can be jailed for the crime of “disruptive behavior.” A “little-noticed provision” in the latest version of the Patriot Act will empower Secret Service to charge protesters with a new crime of “disrupting major events including political conventions and the Olympics.”
The Secret Service would also be empowered to charge persons with “breaching security” and to charge for “entering a restricted area” which is “where the President or other person protected by the Secret Service is or will be temporarily visiting.” In short, be sure to stay in those wired, fenced containments or free speech zones.
Who is the “disruptor”? Bush Team history tells us the disruptor is an American citizen with the audacity to attend Bush events wearing a T-shirt that criticizes Bush
