"The FAA reauthorization legislation sent to Congress this month calls for establishment of a commission to recommend
the closing or consolidation of certain FAA facilities, similar in structure and mission to the Base Realignment and
Closure (BRAC) organization that was used to shutter scores of Defense Department installations."


One problem with this whole concept is that we need to keep these facilities open and viable. This is not like the
downsizing after the Cold War where we had all sorts of excess capacity. The nonsense coming out of this administration
astounds me!



Apparently you aren't the only one:

Vermont Senate: Impeach Bush
By AP/ ROSS SNEYD
(MONTPELIER, Vt.) — Vermont senators voted Friday to call for the
impeachment of President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney, saying
their actions have raised "serious questions of constitutionality."

The non-binding resolution was approved 16-9 without debate — all six
Republicans in the chamber at the time and three Democrats voted
against it.

The resolution says Bush and Cheney's actions in the U.S. and abroad,
including in Iraq, "raise serious questions of constitutionality,
statutory legality, and abuse of the public trust."

"I think it's going to have a tremendous political effect, a
tremendous political effect on public discourse about what to do about
this president," said James Leas, a vocal advocate of withdrawing
troops from Iraq and impeaching Bush and Cheney.

Vermont lawmakers earlier voted to demand an immediate troop
withdrawal from Iraq in another non-binding resolution.

Democratic House Speaker Gaye Symington has kept a similar resolution
from reaching the floor in her chamber. She argued that an impeachment
resolution would be partisan and divisive and that it would distract
Washington from efforts to get the United States out of Iraq, which
she says is more important.

In the Senate, Republican Lt. Gov. Brian Dubie had opposed the
resolution, but he was absent Friday. That left Democratic Senate
President Pro Tem Peter Shumlin in charge, and he immediately took up
the measure.

More than three dozen towns voted in favor of similar nonbinding
impeachment resolutions at their annual town meetings in March. State
lawmakers in Wisconsin and Washington have pushed for similar
resolutions.
