Please tell me I'm grasping at something and/or just becoming paranoid.
So I was looking at the legislative calendar trying to find out if anything would be going on in Olympia for the 19th, since it is a Saturday, and out of curiosity I ended up looking at the latest list of bills introduced in the house. Link is the 3rd one from the bottom in the right hand column on this page: http://apps.leg.wa.gov/billinfo/
Or alternatively, here is the PDF it linked me to: http://apps.leg.wa.gov/documents/bi.../House Introduction Report/INTRO 2013-001.pdf
Contained in that PDF among the others is HB 1062 By Representatives Fitzgibbon, Pedersen, Carlyle and Pollet "Removing provisions relating to subversive activities."
Here is the page on HB 1062: http://apps.leg.wa.gov/billinfo/summary.aspx?year=2013&bill=1062
The bill would, if I understand correctly, amend RCW 35A.42.020 and strike out the reference to RCW 9.81.040 as being grounds for impeachment and/or removal of office. 9.81.040 doesn't seem to say much outright, but it refers to RCW 9.81.030 and RCW 9.81.020 as being the catalysts for meeting the conditions of 9.81.040.
So would this mean that if an elected official violated RCW 9.81.020 (subverted the Constitution of the United States, or supported any organization in doing so) it would no longer be an impeachable offense?
Please tell me I'm just paranoid or clueless..
